Ordered my K3/100 kit (KAT3, KBPF3, KFL3B-FM) 5/27/08, 'Katie-gram'
received 9/16/08, Kit received 9/22/08, assembly completed 9/24/08.
The scariest part of assembly was clearing the paint from the 2-56
screw holes in the front panel. For a while, I was convinced I had an
incompletely tapped hole. A drop of water and patient tightening/
loosening cycles got me through that.
Second scariest part was 'flexing' the KREF3 board to get the TMP
socket to clear the front panel shield. That socket seemed to have
been mounted slightly crooked, opposite to the way that would have
made it easier to clear the hole in the FP shield.
Had enough parts left over to build a complete K1, which was a nice
bonus ;-)
