When I built my K3 I went to the craft store and bought a plastic box with the dividers. I have an Dymo label printer and printed out a label for each screw and put it in the divider with each size screw. Worked well
I also picked up several of the magnetic dishes from Harbor Freight, these work great when have to take anything apart for the hardware (as long as it magnetic). 73 Larry K1ZW -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wayne Conrad Sent: Friday, July 08, 2011 1:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Build On 07/08/11 09:47, David Yarnes wrote: > Just finished my KPA500 build--number 156.

I like muffin tins (a suggestion I read on here, I think). And because I'm afraid I'll have an attack of clumsy and send the contents flying, I wrap the tin in plastic wrap after I populate it. A slit made in the plastic with scissors lets fingers or pliers in to retrieve a part while still keeping it spill-resistant. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ----- No virus found in this message.
