[Elecraft] K3: IN STOCK machined concentric knobs

[Hector Padron]

Well last month looking at my radio shop for junkies,I found we had a very old Motorola service monitor,model 2400 that was lost in a big floding we had years ago with one of the hurricanes but I kept it and guess what,it has lots of machined metal knobs,some of them also concentric and then I tried on my K3 and they fit so well that they look like Elecraft install them.You can see the pictures at qrz.com and you will not realize that they are not the originals,so good idea to look at what you saved years ago.
