[Elecraft] K3 tuning knob wear

[Phil LaMarche]

Email Elecraft and they will replace the knob at n/c.  I ordered a rubber
ring from Ten Tec to go over the knob for a better feel.  Really nice.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 tuning knob wear

I remember commenting about the wear to the main VFO knob finger dimple on
my K3 ( S/No 133 ) some time ago and being told there was something in the
offing to improve things?
Is there any further update on this please?
The paint has well and truly gone and as a result the radio looks " 2nd
hand"
It certainly doesn't perform " 2nd hand" !
Here in VK6 we dont have the advantage of Europe or NA , I'm lucky if I hear
a signal on 40 or 20 these days never mind "picking them out from the
interference " So the tuning knob gets a LOT of work.
This is the penalty for living in the most isolated city on the planet.
One day my K3 will come into its own from Perth , I just hope I live long
enough to experience my 3rd sunspot maxima !
Cheers
Keith
