K2 Part ID Help?

[TimK2]

Hi Folks,

Since it's past closing time in California, I thought I'd throw this out to the group.  I'm about to install L5, a 33 uH RF choke (ORG-ORG-BLK, page 68 of the K2 manual).  The closest component I have has a green body and looks more like a BRN-BRN-BLK.  I'm wondering if the orange stripes look brown because of the green body color, or do I have the wrong component?  Any ideas?

Tnx es 73,

Tim KX3H

Tim,

I had the same situation and when Elecraft sent me the replacement choke
the colors were the same... BRN-BRN-BLK... so I installed it.  
Apparently it is the correct choke even if the color is messed up.   You
are welcome to email Elecraft to verify.

Tim:

The choke you already have is the right one.  I came across the same problem, contacted Elecraft and they confirmed that the green body version of this choke has the orange stripes look more like brown.  So, I went ahead with my green body choke and it works perfectly.
