Re: [Elecraft] 73.CNC black K3 knob

2019-08-12 Thread Don Wilhelm

Skip,

They can create a bend in the shaft if the K3 is dropped to the desktop, 
such as when the bail is retracted.

I would advise anyone NOT to ship the K3 with those knobs mounted.

My experience is with the K2.  There were several that were shipped to 
me for repair with the knob installed - many of those had bent encoder 
shafts.  I was usually able to straighten the shaft, but that is a chore 
in trial and error.

I have one of the original 73.CNC machined main tuning knobs for the K3 in

It's in perfect shape. I will ship it in the US for $95.
