[Elecraft] K1 Front Panel Assembly: Potentiometer shaft doesn't fit

[Don Wilhelm]

Brian,

The hole was "supposed" to have been enlarged at the factory.
Since yours was not, it is easy to enlarge.  Just take a slender knife 
blade and carve off a couple of 'slices' around the inside of the hole.
The ones I have had to do take two 'slices'.

What's the best way to enlarge the hole to preserve the nice new paint?Or is there something else that I'm missing?  I have Googled for this, however nothing in the first page of results seems to mention this issue.Thanks,
