[Elecraft] Main VFO knob wobble

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Hi Knut:

I've never heard of an encoder bearing problem like that on the k3 but you
might post a query to K3support at elecraft.com. I know you are familiar with
that resource since I monitor it myself. Some of the support people there
have seen virtually every issue anyone has brought up about anything!

That boot doesn't come off very easily which is the reason for my inquiry. I
don't want to possibly aggravate a bearing problem unless I know that the
likely reason for the wobble is lose set screws.
