[Elecraft] rubber band vfo

[John Cooper]

Well it just so happen both my girls back tires were flat so I cut the tube 
out of one and reversed it and cleaned it and stuck it on the k2.  Once I 
armor all it and get the powdery talc off of it I think it will look stock. 
definitely like the feel of it now.  Also went ahead and took some 1/2" 
shrink wrap and reversed it so the markings wouldn’t show and cut out 5 
pieces for the 5 knobs(AF Gain, RF Gain, Keyer, Power and RIT knob.)  My 
harbor freight heat gun did the trick.  Thanks for the tip!

I cut my K2 "rubber band" from a section of bicycle inner tube.  If you can 
find one a little smaller in diameter (probably a 1.125 to 1.25" tube), it 
can be stretched to fit on the knob.  The trick is getting parallel cuts 
through the tube.  It may have taken a few attempts, but the old tube 
supplied lots of raw material.

Anyone have a supply of the rubber bands from yaesu for the k2’s vfo knob. 
Or know  a supply for a black or grey rubber band.  The ones used at Market 
basket for broccoli were red.
