[Elecraft] Source for K3 weighted knobs

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Noting I am not saying there is a cost-justification ...

The non-stock weighted knob I have now on my K3 is quite heavy, very
smooth and all rounded edges, so no sharp edges to irritate. Plus it
has a ball-bearing dimple for silk-smooth dimple tuning.

Yeah, it is over the top, but I'm old and get to have over the top now
and then. I didn't buy a Cadillac and stuck with the Fords, so I've
got some left for splurging.

73, Guy K2AV
