[Elecraft] Elmer Request

hello, is there possibly an elmer for the k2 near me? would like to sit down and possibly get help with assembly. i am at page 60 in the manual but i am kinda iffy on my torrid winding. i am planning on buying the pre-wound torrids in the near future. i guess that is an art. will gladly
