[Elecraft] New KX2 VFO knob wobble.

[djchase]

Hi, new KX2 owner here. My new KX2 was delivered on May 10, and had a significant wobble in the VFO knob.  After carefully removing the knob, I discovered that the majority of the wobble was due to the loose fit between the outer structure of the control and the panel opening.  I have temporarily carefully shimmed the gap with some 24 gauge wire, but I believe that a more permanent solution would be a locknut on the control housing which I do not have.   With this temporary fix in place, the tuning knob works well.  I contacted Elecraft Support on May 11 or 12 regarding this situation, but have not received a reply.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a more permanent fix?  Thank you in advance.  Dave, K8RXB Sent from my Galaxy
