We can use Elecraft modules to pay for postage now?  :)  Guess it
makes sense the way postal rates have gone up lately.

Sri, couldn't resist...  Back to lurk mode.

Ah behold the misplaced modifier :)

Seriously, I would LOVE to hear if anyone takes Bob up on that offer. I have my old synth and I cannot imagine a case where someone would need one of these. If you had a failure now and needed to replace it, you would surely just replace it with the new one. Or at least save your pennies. But how many times in the history of the K3 could this board have failed—short of storm damage.

I look at the old synth on the shelf mocking me with its bright shiny aluminum shell and the only thing that keeps me from tossing it the trash is guilt so I wait until the next county mobile electronics collection when I get rid of my other old electronics, batteries, CFL bulbs, paint, etc.

But, if someone wants it, tell me a really great  thing you will do with it, promise to send me a picture of the completed project and I’ll even pay the US postage (note that if you just want the nice piece of aluminum, that doesn’t qualify).

Hi Tom,
I'm taking these off Bob's hands, mostly for the KXV3A. I'll eventually
get the new version, but I've been meaning to update my old pre-"B"
module for years, and I've already got the preamp. I plan to upgrade my
K3 as much as possible, since I got it cheap used and can justify what
it'll cost me to upgrade it vs. buying a similarly configured K3S at
$4500, but I'm going to take my time doing it, and I'd rather have the
new KIO3B I/O board than the KXV3B right now. (I'd need to put $2K into
my K3 to reach the K3S replacement cost, so I've can certainly do some
upgrading.)

I haven't figured out what to do with the KSYN3. If I think of
something, I'll let you know. If you think of something, let me know :)

73,
Scott, N9AA
