K3 Sideplate for K144XV

Hi,
I just bought a used K144XV. My K3 side plate does not have the 3 holes
for the holding screws.
Does anybody has the layout of these holes available, so at least I
could drill them by myself? I guess have no other choices.
Thanks,
73 Gernot DF5RF

My serial is 3376, second owner. It seems the first owner made some
interesting mods to it. For example, the backplate BNC-hole for the
2m-Antenna is filled with an external fuse for the KPA3. Does not seem
to be the standard...
Thanks for the info, Dick.

Have you contacted Dlecraft? They may give you directions on where to drill. Or they may send /sell you a side panel.

Give ‘em a call. Now, they’re still open in CA.

Jim and all,
My K144XV is now alive. So thanks for your great help, also thanks to
elecraft support who helped with a drawing. The old side plate also
missed the blank space, which I spotted on the scans of Jim.
Lucky me, the transverter was also equipped with the REFLOCK board, so I
guess that was a great deal.

PS: If anybody in Europe is interested in buying used Elecraft gear, I
can recommend OZ6MWE (http://www.mwe.dk/index-filer/Page556.htm). I've
bought there two times without any hassle and at a fair price.
