[Elecraft] Project Knobs

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

In 1998 when living in Luxembourg I bought some 50mm diameter knobs from RS 
Components in the UK. Their stock number was 170-632. They also had the same 
type of knob, which RS Components described as a Handwheel, with diameters 
of 40mm and 60mm. The rim is knurled and there is a revolving handle useful 
for "fast tuning", I use one on a VHF monitoring receiver and find the knob 
comfortable to use. Might be worthwhile to take a look at RS Components to 
see if they still sell them.
