[Elecraft] Wow! Nice Knobs :-)

[Don Rasmussen]

For K3: I have never had such a nicely balanced knob on such a silky smooth encoder.

Collins, yeah, I can see some advantages to the extra weight. That having been said - I do enjoy having the dimple on the outside of the knob, and some extra finger room around the VFO B area.

Maybe I'm missing something???

Doesn't just sliding the K3 knob on so it just kisses the 
felt washers do the same thing?

The K3 knob seems plenty heavy to me.

I was thinking though, if extra weight was needed, I would 
take it to a local crankshaft shop and have a few slugs of 
mallory metal inserted. A slug of mallory metal is only $40.
