Hi Don
Thanks for the reply. I did know about the new encoder kit but the
problem is that of its cost when it gets here.
Elecraft quote 124USD for the kit, that's £100 here which then gets VAT
at 20% and a local handling charge - say a total of £130-140 and as well
if I read things correctly I will need to get a new knob.
So you can see that my problem is that unless I can get a cheaper
replacement I might as well sell the K2/100 either in bits for spares or
at a discount.
The encoder does work fine but it has suffered a knock which has made it
slightly stiff to turn, i.e it wont 'spin', but it is useable.
So thanks for the thoughts

Bob,
You can get the new encoder from Elecraft - it is p/n K2ENCASY.
It contains the new encoder, a new knob and several other components
as well as the encoder board.
If this is your only option, be aware that the spacing between the new
encoder board and the back of the Control Board is critical.
You must flush trim the leads on the Control Board where it can
contact the encoder board and also flush trim the encoder board after
it is assembled. Flush trimming means really flush - diagonal cutters
are not sufficient.
You will also have to enlarge the hole for the encoder in the Front
Panel metalwork a bit. A knife run around the hole a couple times
will allow the encoder shaft adequate clearance.
You might want to put a piece of "fish paper" between the encoder
board and the Control Board.

Hi
I need a main tuning encoder of a K2. The Elecraft part number is
E640003 and on the back the makers number is EC202C025A-2TD
If you have one spare please mail me off list
73 and thanks
