Re: [Elecraft] K3 Neoprene ring
And if you ever do need to remove the knob, the set screw hole is under the ring (or as some say 'tyre') 73 Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Dave W8FGU Sent: Friday, March 4, 2016 3:28 PM To: k6...@foothill.net; Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Neoprene ring No set screw Fred.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Neoprene ring
Hi Fred, No need to remove the knob. Just remove the existing rubber ring (use a small toothpick or something that won't scratch the knob)to make space between the knob and rubber until you can grip the rubber) and replace it with the new one. That's how I did it.

[Elecraft] K3 Neoprene ring
OK, feeling really stupid here, but my K3 is S/N 642, it's obviously been a long time since I assembled it, and at my age, "remembering a long time" is a non-starter.
