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

[Harry Yingst]

I found that a Straight Slot screwdriver works well and enlarging holes

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,
