Gil and all, I would not recommend skipping the inventory. If nothing else, inventory the capacitors so you know how many you start with. If you then find you do not have the capacitor value called for during construction, you can conclude that you installed an incorrect value somewhere and go looking for it.
Yes, one of the repair tasks I find on newly built K2s (and K1s and KX1s) is a capacitor that has an incorrect value. So bottom line - if you know the parts count is correct before you start, and the manual calls for a part that you no longer have, you have put something in the wrong place. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/2/2012 2:13 AM, Gil G. wrote: > Hum, a parts inventory takes a lot of time.
