[Elecraft] Broken K3 Knobs

[James Sarte]

I know this is just wishful thinking, but it would be nice to have machined
aluminum knobs instead of plastic or resin.

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.
