[Elecraft] K3, k4 Black knobs - headlamp

[stephen shearer]

On the subject of RED LED Headlamps, I have a Energizer - it has two red 
LED's + three white (variable brightness) that cam be selected.  I 
picked it up at Walmart a few years back.  It was in the $10 - $20 
range, I think it was $13..  (cost may be more now).  3xAAA batteries. I 
don't find a model number.

Looks like $17 now
