[Elecraft] New K2 - two bad encoders

[Lou Voerman W2ROW]

I am building a newly acquired K2. Everything was fine through stage 1
assembly and checkout. Upon reassembling after stage two the main tuning
encoder no longer works (turning the knob does absolutely nothing). I
contacted Elecraft support and Gary sent me a new encoder assembly. I
received it yesterday, assembled it and installed it, it also does not work.
At every stage I flush cut the leads on both the encoder PCB and the control
board and insulated with thick paper.

To add to the plot, I have an older K2 which I disassembled and removed the
encoder assembly from. I installed that encoder assembly in the new K2 and
it works FB. I also installed one of the new encoder assemblies in the old
K2 and it does not work (as expected).

Being in contact with Elecraft support I expect this will get resolved soon,
but I wondered if anyone on the list has any experience and/or suggestions.

Thanks,
Lou  W2ROW
