Tony...
The K3 has almost no "hole stuffing and soldering" assembly...most
of the components are pre-mounted surface-mount type. I would categorize
the assembly as more "erector set" -- mounting boards, running TMP
cables, etc.
Having built a fully fleshed-out K2 some time back, I believe in
comparison that the K3 is NOT a deep-end-of-the-pool type kit... You can
count on component boards fitting perfectly, etc., and the packing
density is not crowded. There is a surprising amount of space inside the
box.
Perhaps watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfUMZcwtIyw would
be of some reassurance, especially if you like Joplin.
