FEATURES

The M2 KT34(A)-KT34M2 UPGRADE KIT provides all the parts to bring up your old KT34(A) to current 34M2 specifications and keep it that way. Over the years it has become evident that the original sheet metal straps loosen with time and the connections becomes intermittent and / or lossy. The new close tolerance, CNC machined shorting BARS produce solid, low loss connections for years. The machined bars also add mechanical stiffness to the element. In addition, all new hardware has been supplied as well as new UV stabilized Capacitor Caps and tubes needed for the new T match. Why not upgrade today and see what M2 can do for you.
