K3 assembly pictures posted

[Craig Rairdin]

This message didn't seem to go through on my first attempt last night. Sorry
if you get two copies...

I've posted page-by-page assembly pictures of my K3/100 #25 at my web site:

http://www.craigr.com/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=70

To view the pictures in order make sure you sort by file name, not title or
date. (Click the "+" sign to the right of "file name".) That might be the
default view.

The pictures are based on the Rev B assembly manuals. They are changing all
the time so the page numbers might not agree with yours when you get it. On
the other hand, I don't know if these pictures are as handy as the K2 or KX1
pictures I have at my site since there aren't many tricky steps or confusing
components. But they're fun to look at if you're waiting for a K3. There are
69 high-resolution pictures there; more than enough to drool over. :-)

Hi,

Interesting, but that jumble of toroids on the rf board is just plain
ugly.  I like 'em neatly lined up like on my K2.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO

Maybe the folks in production will say that it was made on purpose, in order
to reduce the mutual inductance and so the coupling....

Hi Hi

In SN 31 the toroids look more aligned and orderly. What I did note is the  
packaging, being layered, did apply some pressure to the taller components  
causing some toroids to lean a little. I plan to gently stand them up, but I may  
wait until after I have the rig running and baselined. I don't want to tweak
any  conditions that were present during alignment and test.
 
On the KAT3 and KPA3 boards, the toroids are larger and the  effect is more
pronounced, but still useable as is. I still need to see what the  assembly
manual might have to say about this.

So do I but, truth be told, I don't plan on spending that much time
looking at them. :)
