[Elecraft] K3 VFO A tension

[Bob]

First I don't have a K3 being only a lowly K2 owner.  So I'm throwing 
this out into the ring as a possible solution.

In the Elecraft spirit I modified it by changing to a larger knob that I 
liked but was not happy with the tension.
The knob was also unbalanced and if it came to rest at a certain 
position the rig would "Drift".  Two washers was
to loose and 3 was way too tight and I could never find the right knob 
height for either combination.

The local hardware store had what they called "fender washers"  and were 
large enough to match the felt washer.
The ideal combo was a sandwich of a felt-fender washer-felt.
