[Elecraft] K1 Main Tuning Lock

[Sandy, W5TVW]

I used a thick piece of leather (about 1/8") cut in a disk same size as knob.
Works great.  I couldn't find any felt thick enough!  Normal "pool table" baize
is not thick enough.  Where does one get thick felt?  (Besides the brim of an
old "smokey bear" campaign hat!)

| Hi Art,
|
| I also find the K1 VFO pot too easy to turn, even when I turn it intentionally.  I
placed some hand cut felt washers between the front panel and the back of the VFO
knob to add some stiffness.

| That doesn't provide what you ask, but it is a crude way to help in the absense of
a lock feature.
