I am the original owner/builder of this K2, s/n 3862. My initial vocation

Most of the options are noted in the K3 kit assembly manual, instructing you
when to install them (or certain components) during the initial build to
avoid disassembling the K3 again later. If you also bought the K3EXREF

How do you change the AC input power from 120 to 240 on the KPA500 ?
I know the fuse values change and the fuse holder is turned to signify the

change connections inside for 240 volt operation?
