[Hallicrafters] Weighted Knobs

I have some old Kenwood rigs and the main tuning knob on some of these
rigs had a heavy feel to them vs others.  Pulling the knob, I found 
someone and apparently opened shotgun shells and dumped the lead shot
into the hollows in the back of the knob.  Of course this was mixed with
a good glue.  Made the knob very heavy.  Just a thought.

Has anyone figured out an effective way to add a "flywheel" feeling to
the BS tuning on the non-weighted knob radios, ie S-76. Thanks. Joe
