Rick:
A while back (well, several DAYS ago) I seem to recall seeing Wayne
comment that his take on 'build time' was between 6 and 8 hours.

As owner of K2 No. 2005 I look forward to owning a K3 some time in
the future. Nice job Elecraft!
I haven't yet seen an estimated build time for the K3. The consensus
seems the K2 is usually around 40-60 hours for the first time K2
builder. Because of the K3's modular plug in construction I would
assume the build time will be much less. Any estimates on the build time?
Also, I am curious as to how "smart" the K3 is in regards to self
diagnostics for potential failures of various boards or components.
Is there a significant amount of the routine (say compared to the
K2) devoted to isolating and detecting faults and failures?
And are the boards designed (and/or will Elecraft encourage) for the
builder/owner to fix them on site? Or once a potential troublesome
board is identified will we normally send it back for repair or exchange?
The two items I like the most on my K2 (and other Elecraft product)
is firstly the performance and at a close second is I never have to
worry about being unable to fix, service, or align the radio. Of
course, it is obvious the K3 retains both those qualities.
