Hello Thomas, I can use the allen wrench to extract the set screw from the VFO A knob. When I hold the set screw against my 8-32 tap, the threads mesh, and the diameters appear to be the same.
Even though the set screw thread meshes with that of my 8-32 tap, the set screw is not long enough to make me feel certain that they are the same, rather than merely being "close." I am not familiar enough with nominal metric threads to know whether there is one that is close to 32 threads/inch. There is an identical set screw in the VFO B knob. Either set screw will thread easily into the VFO B knob, but either set screw will go just so far and then bind in the VFO A knob. 73, John, no8v ---- Original message ---- >Date: Sat, 3 May 2008 21:26:04 +0200 >From: "Thomas Norff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: [Elecraft] K3 VFO A tuning knob set screw >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Hi John, > >i am living in 'metric land' and i'm shure this is not metric.
