[ICOM] tuning knob skirt

[Alan Leith]

Hi Jim,

Nope, have just used the carpet tape that's available at most hardware
stores.  I'll have to see if I can find the foam stuff you mention.

Also, I'll put a call through to the west coast in a couple of hours to see
if ICOM has the skirts.  I don't know if all ICOM tuning knobs are the same
size but if they are, I'm sure to get one.

Thanks for the idea.

Al,

Have you tried using the double faced foam tape. It will usually stick
pretty good to both surfaces.
