[Elecraft] Where have all the K2s Gone?

[Stephen W. Kercel]

Ron:

Ok, here's a K2 question.

My K2 tuning knob intermittently thumps, both as an audible sound, 
and as a mechanical bump that I can feel in my fingertips as I rotate 
the knob. It does not always do it at the same knob position. It is 
nearly impossible to replicate with consistency, but it happens often 
enough to be annoying.

I had the encoder replaced, and there is no felt washer in the new 
installation.  There are no felt shreds to get in the works.

Any thoughts?
