[Elecraft] Front panel knobs

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

After a few hours of IARU cw contesting picked up the #3612 again.
Ran into a problem with the knobs over the pots on the front panel.

Setting the pots fully clockwise and turning the knob over the shaft and
pushing it down gently (as in  the manual),  one the pots went through the
270 dgs-stop.
It is still OK if I check it with a meter and the stops are still there.
But.... the knob is not in the right postion yet. It's at the right height
obove the frontpanel, but I have to turn the knob a mere 30 degrees to get
it in the right position.

I hesitate to use more force to turn the knob because this could run the pot
past the stop again.
Anyone encountered this? What was the solution?

PS : Thanks for the suggestions on the backlight of the display yesterday.
Gave good confidence when placing and soldering that component.
