[Elecraft] Concentric knobs??

[hb9ari]

Hello,

I also have a "problem" with concentric knobs.(K3 #1212)
An external one was broken since the beginning.
The 1st time i move it, he was slipping over the shaft;
as it's related to the sub-receiver, i don't ask for a new one.

The only annoying problem i get since some time is an
unstable contact at the rear line-out min-jack (3.5mm) connector.
(i suspect the audio input too) As the #1212 is out of warranty,
i've planned to find a more reliable solution, excluding these
2 mini-jacks. One of my task during next vacations ( in 3 weeks)

Otherwise, always 100% fan of my K3 !

73 QRO,
  Rudi, HB9ARI
