[Elecraft] K3 VFO A tension

[Missouri Guy]

>Well, I'll jump in here. I had the same problem a few months ago when I
assembled S/N 1889. The VFO A knob was way too loose no matter what I
did. I
had followed the instructions and installed one (1) felt washer under
both
the VFO A and B knobs. The B knob was fine. The A knob couldn't be
adjusted
to my liking. Then I noticed I had an extra felt washer (i.e., a total of
three were included in the package). I added the second washer and life
is
good.....

I too used the extra washer that came with the kit for VFO A.  But, if
more friction
was needed, your local craft supplier (such as Hobby Lobby and the like)
would 
have a selection of felt that can easily be cut with scissors; the point
being that
the felt circle could be cut a little larger to provide even more
friction for the knob.
