[Elecraft] K2 knob replacement

[AC6JA at aol.com]

I've purchased knobs for my K2, K3, and KX3 from _www.73cnc.com_ 
(http://www.73cnc.com) .
They even modified a K2 knob to fit my K3 VFO B shaft.  Much better  than 
the smaller VFO B knob!
And all my knobs have the ball bearing spinner dimples.
No connection with the company, just a happy camper.

For  those owners of newer K2s, be aware that the NEW K2 encoder (those 
with a  board soldered to the back of the encoder) has a larger shaft 
diameter  than the older K2 encoders.

I mention this as a way of warning newer K2  owners that the normal "K2" 
knob may not fit your K2.
The new encoder  shaft diameter is the same as the K3 encoders, but the 
K3 VFO A knob is  too large for the K2 and the K3 VFO B knob may be too 
small in  diameter.

Know what you have in your K2 before ordering a replacement  knob.
