I have serial nr 1605, use the K3 for hours every day and haven't had a
single problem with the knobs?

The question in my mind is whether only those who had knobs from the bad
batch will have this problem or whether everyone who don't have the latest
super-tough versions will have a failure sooner or later. When someone has a
knob disintegrate and then the replacement they are sent also disintegrates
you start to wonder if the problem isn't more widespread. I don't have any
broken knobs yet so I can't ask for replacements but I no longer have
confidence that the knobs I have will last the life of the radio.
