Getting K2 fixed up and re-tuned?

Hi,

I like my K2 (I have a K3 too), but have a few things I would like to get
fixed/tuned:

. scratchy volume pot

. amp's out is jumping around, maybe SWR bridge not aligned
right

. SSB board never sounded great, I would like to use it for SSB
and maybe it could be aligned properly.

Is this something that Elecraft does, or do I have to contact one of the
builders on the website? If the latter, who do you recommend?

I just do not have the equipment, time and skills to do a job I will be
happy with :-)

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,

Don, W3FPR comes to mind. He enjoys a first-class reputation. You can
find his email address in one of his postings here on the reflector.

I second that recommendation, Andy! He is a K2
guru (well, likely applies to all Elecraft rigs) :-)

Don W3FPR and Alan W3DVX come to mind (Don from his frequent contributions and
counsel on this reflector, Alan from his "tuneup" of my K2 for its previous
owner, who was apparently very satisfied with Alan's services.)

There is also a comprehensive list of builders (some of whom do repairs and
alignment) on Elecraft's website:

I told him to look for Don in a direct email. He's up on the north side of Raleigh and does incredible work.
