[Elecraft] VFO B knob cracked

[Fred Jensen]

My K3 is S/N 642.  I just looked as closely as I can at my age under 
good light, and detect no VFO B knob cracks.  I did lose the AF/RF gain 
knobs and the ones below it, Elecraft replaced them immediately.  I 
think tomorrow, when there's daylight, I'll check all the other knobs, 
but I really don't stress about them, if they break the E-folks will 
replace them.

I seem to remember some traffic some time ago that they got a bad batch 
from a vendor.  After the military, I supported my family as an 
engineer, and I do know how difficult QC is when you have multiple 
vendors.  Initially, Henry Ford not only made all the automobiles, he 
also made all the parts.  That didn't last long in a capitalist economy. :-)
