[Elecraft] Broken K3 Knobs

[W0FK]

About 1000 of the knobs were maufactured improperly, which has since been
corrected. Eric told me at Dayton that future knobs will have a glass
additive in them so that they will be virtually indestructible.

Email parts at Elecraft and they will promptly send replacements.
