[K1] New (to me) K1 questions

[Hank/KEoCU]

I recently purchased a good used K1 and have a couple questions:

1. Based on the serial number and/or original purchase date, is there anyway to determine whether hardware or firmware upgrades/modifications are available?

2. I am interested in back lighting the display. Does anyone offer a modification kit for this purpose?

Thanks!

You can order a backlight kit from Elecraft. It is listed on the order form.

The online Elecraft order form lists a K1 mod kit for S/N 1092 and earlier.
