Gentlemen, Thanks for all your support and suggestions. Dale from Elecraft suggested removing the front panel, spraying the pins with Deoxit. He kindly included a link to the DVR installation manual which has simple 'how-to' instructions on getting to the front panel assembly. Since my K3 was factory built, this was very helpful and allowed me to follow pages 6-7-8 and 11-12-13 to disassemble/assemble the FPA. Only took about 45 minutes to complete. Success! 73 Tom CX7TT
