Steve,
I own K3/100 serial number 409 and I note yours is number 410.
I have never had a static electricity problem with my encoder knob
or any part of the rig.
 
Mine sits on a wooden desk which is sitting on wall to wall carpeting
and the rig is grounded via the house wiring
Your 2nd. front panel must be the culprit.
