I'm embarrassed to admit that I purchased my K2 kit, #5534, at Hamvention in 2006 and it is still not completed.

After I retired two years later, I picked up the kit again only to realize tremors in my hands would not allow me to do the soldering any longer.
Getting old is a pain when it means we can no longer do some of the things we love to do. The price you are asking for the set of K2 items would mean you are taking quite a loss on the items you had bought.
One option to consider is to find someone you know and can trust to do the soldering work for you. You can do the final assembly and alignment. At least you will the satisfaction of having done some work on the K2 even if it wasn't the soldering of parts that you originally expected to be doing. You will also wind up with a nice radio that you can use on the air.
