However #1055's dimple edge has a metallic shine to it as though it was not painted. I think what I am seeing here is that #806 has had the dimple painted, but #1055 has not. Perhaps different knob suppliers in the past? 73, Tom, N5GE K3 #806, K3 #1055 XV144, XV432 W1 and other small kits. http://www.n5ge.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
