[Elecraft] K3 Panel Screws - I'm Not Alone
Hi John, Phil and others, . Maybe they'll be offered by Elecraft . Elecraft does offer replacement screws, allthough not (yet) as a complete set. Look on the Spare parts and Mod Kits order page under Miscellaneous. You find FLTSCRKT with 10 screws for a dollar. It says for K1 but they are the same as the K3. I ordered a set some time ago to replace some on my K3. The pan-heads are there too. 73 de PE8E, Ron K3/100 #00201 K3/10 #01201 -- Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2008 21:17:19 -0800 From: John Sims n...@sbcglobal.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Panel Screws - I'm Not Alone Yet again, from tonight's reflector digest: So - Now after two mod processes plus installation of the KRX3, my cabinet screws are starting to show a little wear. Maybe Elecraft should offer a small kit that just includes replacement cabinet screws (top-and side-cover especially) for those of us who keep taking our K3s apart. Phil - AD5X Here, here! Those screws heads are too malleable, a few of yours are showing wear and tear. I wish I'd ordered a full set of them -- they're cheap. Maybe they'll be offered by Elecraft. They did give me better side panel heat sink screws (two) for the K2. Aptos finally realized the initial pair weren't good for repeated assembly and disassembly. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Panel Screws - I'm Not Alone
I support the provision of more of the hardware off the shelf. It is needed as Elecraft use such rare and difficult to obtain threads. UNC/UNF is reasonable for a USA market, where they can probably be obtained at any hardware shop. They are very difficult to get in small quantities if you live outside the USA.
