Vin,
Thanks for the pictures! Reminds me of when I built my K1. I had a
real good time building it; and an even better time using it. Even
though I went on to purchase and build a K2; the K1 still remains my
"favorite". I keep it in a padded case in my car and do a lot of
portable QRPing when the weather is nice and I get a chance.
One "hint and kink" that I would strongly advise if you haven't
considered already. Get some pieces of felt from a cloth store; or from
the notion dept. of Wal-Mart or Target. Cut on or two circles the same
or a bit smaller diameter of the main tuning knob and put them between
the knob and the front panel. This creates just a tiny bit of drag
which makes the knob action feel better.
73 es good luck with the rest of the construction. Maybe when you're
done we can have a K1 - K1 QSO.
