[Elecraft] Knob shaft and pot issues

[Bob K9PAG]

My kit K3 #818 came with the shafts on the four small dual function knobs
lose and the associated pots feeling like they were gritty when turned. 
Sure not as smooth and nice as my ICOM 746!  Wonder how many #800 units
experienced this problem or is it just me?   The lose shafts and gritty
feeling when turned reminds me of cheap volume controls on a Chinese radio. 
And how many have experienced a DOA KSYN3 (synthesizer) board in your kit?  
In addition, how many of you have experienced missing hardware in your kit
making it difficult to complete?  I sure would hate to be living overseas,
missing US nuts and screws, and waiting for the next boat to arrive with
needed parts.  Moral: Next time I will buy a radio that is fully assembled.
