[Elecraft] Custom Knob

[K4tmc@aol.com]

I got the FT100 knob/rubber ring combination and tried it on my K2.  To me, 
the combination was just too small.  So, what I did was take the rubber ring 
from the FT100 knob and put it on the original K2 knob.  I like that size much 
better.  The ring is almost too small to fit the K2 knob, so do the 
installation in a warm environment, such that the rubber ring will be softer and easier 
to stretch over the K2 knob.  I found that putting the ring on the K2 knob was 
much easier if the knob was not already on the K2 shaft.  If you do it that 
way, then you cannot reach the set screws when you go to re-mount the knob.  The 
solution is to drill small holes in the ring right where the set screws holes 
are located.  Make the holes just big enough to get the wrench through to the 
set screws.

And finish off with one of the Finger Dimples on the knob face.
