K2 Question

Tom McCulloch
I have an early serial numbered K2 (#1103) which I am running barefoot.  
Among other options, I have installed the KI02 and ATU.  Those who have
built the earlier models will recall the need to cut some of the the
traces on one of the front panel boards (there are two boards up there -
I forget which one was cut).

I now find it necessary to remove my KI02 and I will probably have to
replace it (don't ask!).  My question to the group is -- in light of my
having cut those traces, will the ATU still tune if I remove the KI02?  
(I forget if we cut the traces when installing the KI02 or the ATU).

I hope at least some of this makes sense.

Thanks in advance for your usual help.

  Tom,

You made some cuts and added some wire to the Control Board when adding
the KIO2 if your K2 SN was less than 3000 (the new boards already have
this change installed.

No need to reverse that wiring, just unplug the KIO2 cable and all will
be well.
