Want My K-2 Back
Locked
 
|
This my second and last time posting this message. Please indulge me in one more effort.
All this recent talk about K-2’s makes me homesick for the one I built shortly before my retirement (Serial #5529). I spent an entire summer carefully following the instructions and created an astonishing radio. Sometime after that, the lure of the K-3 took over and I sold my K2 to finance the purchase of the K-3. I now regret that decision. If anyone out there knows who has my old K-2 please contact me off-list. I’d like to discuss reacquiring the radio. If you tell me you have the radio but it’s not for sale, just tell me how it’s doing.

Jimmy,
Thanks for your sentiments about the K2. If all else fails we can find you a new one :) 73, Wayne N6KR > On Feb 25, 2018, at 10:33 AM, James Walker <[hidden email]> wrote: > > ....If anyone out there knows who has my old K-2 please contact me off-list.

There are Elecraft affiliated groups on Facebook; did you think about
posting something there? It might mean that you sign up for a Facebook account but there is no requirement that you continue to use it. I'm not a Facebook fan but I am trying to help with a constructive suggestion. Good luck on your quest.

And if you decide to do that, Eric and I will autograph the inside top cover, FWIW. That and $5 will get you a slice of pizza, at least in my neighborhood :)

I get it. I’ve told the story before, but again, I took 10 years to build my K2 that I bought in ‘99. I started it, got delayed by an addition to the house and a move of the shack. I documented all the mods and readjusted the assembly instructions over 9 years so that when it was finished, it worked well, and didn’t require any resoldering. I’ve had a chance to sell it, but it’s family.
I can’t sell it. I’ve thought about building a new one...it was a great experience!

Thanks Wayne. You and Eric are too kind. Sadly, the years have taken their toll on my ambitious youth. I’m less patient these days, and far from as steady of hand as I was then. Perhaps my efforts to reunite with my K2 are a last gasp to hold on to my memories of a 16 year old kid with a new novice license. Wow! That’s lot of baggage to heap on a lowly K2. Maybe fate will lead me to the radio. Anyway, I couldn’t build a new one now, even if you threw a KPA1500 into the deal. BUT, if I do find the radio, how about I bring it to Dayton and collect those signatures. The Dayton booth is where I bought my lost K-2. And if experience is any guide, I’ll buy a KX2 while I’m there.
Thanks for being a friend to me and all of us Elecraft enthusiasts.

I'd wager there are people reading this list who would build one for you, just because it's such a great thing to build.
I've done three, and I plan to do a fourth. I'd offer to do another but for the facts that I couldn't guarantee a time frame and, if I did run into trouble, I don't have the lab equipment (or the in-depth knowledge) to troubleshoot really complex problems myself. But I would understand if your own original was what you really want. My present call was the original issue in 1957. Getting it back a few years ago was a nostalgic attempt to be 13 again.
