Metal or Brass insert! Not just plastic. -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of WILLIS COOKE Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 10:14 PM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 RF knob Broken
I don't know where to get better ones but I repaired the knobs that broke with 30 min epoxy and they worked for a while. I called Elecraft and they sent a set under warranty and I bought two more sets. They are not expensive, but the shipping and handling is, co I bought three new sets. My outer ring broke and while I was looking at it the inner knob broke also. Elecraft could do well if they found something better quality.
