[Elecraft] FS: 8x optical encoder

[Kenneth E. Harker]

     I have for sale an Iwatsu optical encoder, Digi-Key Part #102-1009-ND.
This is a compatible replacement part for the Iwatsu optical encoder used 
for the tuning knob in the Elecraft K2.  This optical encoder has eight
times the resolution as the stock K2 encoder, and will result in a tuning 
rate of 8 kHz per knob revolution, instead of 1 kHz per knob revolution, 
at the 10 Hz frequency tuning step (provided you don't turn the knob too 
fast.)  I had this encoder in my K2 for several months as an experiment.  

     This cost me $60 new.  I am asking $45, plus shipping (in the same 
packaging Digi-Key used.)
