K3 Gold Pins

[kk9v]

I am looking at picking up another K3.  Does anyone know what SN# Elecraft
started using the gold plated pins ?  The owner has no idea.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike,
The gold pins were started around serial #4000 to 4100. I got this from one of the Elecraft techs some years ago when I had K3 serial # 3505 in for upgrades. I think it was in 2015.

Hope to see you at the Indianapolis hamfest.

73,
Mark, WB9CIF

My #2091 did not have them..   But even if the radio you want to buy doesn’t have them, they are not difficult to install, or Elecraft will do it for you.
