Missing parts
Locked

Here is a list of a few places I have found "missing" parts...Caught up amongst the resistors on the resistor tape...Stuck, by way of their wire leads, in the flaps and seams of envelopes...Stuck in the tape used to seal the plastic tubes containing relays...Stuck in the ridges of these same plastic tubes, a common place for small connector pins to get lost...Stuck inside various jacks...Stuck inside connector back shells...Stuck inside the holes in the binocular core...Stuck in the sleeve of my shirt...<G>...

My worst experience (and most embarrasing!) is that when I got my box
of parts for my K2, for some reason I took the bag with the parts for the control board and stuck it in a drawer in my basement. So when I got to that part in the instructions, I could not find it and of course assumed Elecraft had not sent it. I shot a panic'ed email to the parts account and got back a response of 'boy that is very worrisome!' I was looking for something unrelated to the kit in that drawer and immediately saw I had made a huge mistake! For the record, I have not seen any missing parts, only those I lost in the rug/vacuum cleaner, etc. Neal On Jan 22, 2005, at 1:42 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: > Deep in the carpet on the floor ...

> Deep in the carpet on the floor ... Since one or more of my cats decided that the carpet in my shack/shop was dirty enough to qualify it as a Cat Latrine, I pulled it up and installed a light-colored vinyl tile floor. I actually got the tile for free (left over from a commercial job). This is the BEST improvement that I've ever made! It's added years to my useful life -- years that used to be spent crawling around looking for parts -- improved the lighting, reduced static, etc. Sometimes cats are smarter than humans. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
