[Elecraft] Concentric knobs??

[Don Wilhelm]

  Rudi,

Why are you suffering with that broken knob problem?  Elecraft 
recognized that the early knobs were breaking and had them 
re-constructed with stronger material.  Replacement knobs have been 
available at no cost.  Send an email to parts at elecraft.com and ask for 
the new knobs.

73,
