[Elecraft] Replacement tuning knob for K2?

  I used an FT-900 knob on my K2 for a while and enjoyed it -- The 
FT-900 knob is larger than the FT-100 knob.

I have since reverted to the stock K2 knob, but with the addition of an 
FT-900 tire around it to protect my tuning thumb from the sharp corner 
of the stock K2 knob.  The FT-100 tire will also fit on the K2 knob, but 
it is more of a stretch than the FT-900 tire.  I know the FT-900 knob is 
no longer available from Yaesu, but the tires may be.  I have no current 
information about the FT-100 knob not its tire.

If you do use an FT-100 knob, break off the plastic pin in the shaft 
recess so it mounts closer to the K2 front panel.
