[Elecraft] Stiffening VFO B knob

[Richard S. Lindzen]

Thanks to Joe and all the others who answered off line.  I had put a 
felt washer on when I assembled the K3 (#911), but there was a second 
felt washer that was left over.  With two felt washers, it is easy to 
get exactly the tension you want.  Somehow I must have missed this in 
the instructions.  Also, by now, I've pretty much forgotten the 
details of assembling the K3.
