Hi Tom, When I had K3 serial No. 3505 in for upgrades they upgraded it to the gold pins. I asked the same question and was told it was somewhere between 4000 and 4100. They can't give an exact number due to some orders being kits versus the factory assembled units.

A member of our contest group is interested in buying a used K3 and I have advised him not to get an older one because of the connector reliability issues.
