K3 PA repair

AD4C2009
My very best Julio AD4Z was having problems on his K3,a very low serial,on the 300"s and it happened that one of the PA board connectors that pass all the final current had heavy corrosion in 6 pins,Elecraft sent him new connectors to replaced the bad ones and between him and me we did the job,if you want to see all the job pictures click on the next link:

Maybe someone might have same problem on his PA using the old non gold plated connector and this is the only way to resolve the problem if you have the proper desoldering/soldering machine as well as the skills to do the job we did.
