While dalking my wog my senses reverted and I remembered that "right" should have been "left" in the following. Sorry for the bandwidth and confusion.
I have found the following procedure gives me time and support to do this easily: 1) Remove left side panel, the one with the handle (probably off already if you're working on the front). 2) Remove the rear mounting screw on the 2-D fastener, left front of RF board, behind mic connector. 3) Lay the K3 on its left side, on a smooth anti-static surface. 4) Lay the front panel on its left edge and cozy it up to the K3. 5) Be sure the front dress panel comes inside the right side panel. 6) Be sure the front dress panel overlaps the 2-D connectors correctly. 7) Check connector alignment and mate the front panel slowly, while everything is on its side. Since the surface carries all the weight, your toper's hands will not have a chance to louse things up! As always, YMMV. Works for me. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
