[Elecraft] Build quality of K3 regarding control knobsandswitches?

[Andy Faber]

BTW, there's a guy who sells heavy knobs for the K3 main and sub vfos.  I 
treated myself to them and love the main knob.  It's a distinct improvement 
over stock.  The sub is a bit less successful, IMHO, because it is a bi 
oversized and can cause you to hit the RIT knob y mistake.
