My K3 is S/N 642. I just looked as closely as I can at my age under
good light, and detect no VFO B knob cracks. I did lose the AF/RF gain
knobs and the ones below it, Elecraft replaced them immediately. I
think tomorrow, when there's daylight, I'll check all the other knobs,
but I really don't stress about them, if they break the E-folks will
replace them.
I seem to remember some traffic some time ago that they got a bad batch
from a vendor. After the military, I supported my family as an
engineer, and I do know how difficult QC is when you have multiple
vendors. Initially, Henry Ford not only made all the automobiles, he
also made all the parts. That didn't last long in a capitalist economy. :-)

My VFO B knob cracked within 6 months of assembly. It was replaced
immediately under warranty and no problems since.
