Elecraft should just cost all equipment usiing the SS screws and get over it and move on.
The painted screws simply demean the appearance of the equipment and it looks pretty awful I reckon. Enuff said..SS screws on all products PLEASE?

Not available for the P3 or KPA500. My suggestion is to simply send out ONLY SS screws (even if US$15 more) and it becomes a non-issue. All kits/builds, all metal screws, all stainless. Simpler to stock too. Rick WA6NHC -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF Now, if Elecraft would offer a similar SS Screw option for both the P3 and KPA500 (as well as the up and coming KAT500 and the KX3) then we'd all be on a winner. How about it Wayne & Eric, we'd like SS screw kits for the P3, KPA500, KAT500 & KX3 please. 73 de Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF East Innisfail QLD, Australia K3 #4257, P3#1629, KPA-500 #161 ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
