"Are you shaking the radio?" Bob,
Yes. That's exactly what I am doing. When I would flip my K3 over onto its back or side during initial assembly and subsequent modifications, the sound of the rattling washer always caused me to stop and check the inside of the radio for potentially lost hardware, connectors, parts, etc. I always shake a radio that I've had apart for service. A few times I actually discovered an errant nut or washer before I reassembled the radio. I spent a lot of unnecessary time checking for the source of this rattle before coming up with the hot glue solution. Now, if I shake the radio during reassembly and hear nothing, I sleep better that night. ;o) 73, Terry, WØFM -----Original Message----- From: Bob Naumann [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 9:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Assembly question Exactly what is going on to make this washer rattle?

Sorry - I just don't get it. ______________________________________________________________ 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
