Re: [Elecraft] K3S VFO-A Dial Knob
Eric, I am wrapped (not physicaly) in the feel of the k3s band on vfo A, my advice to all is to wait for Elecraft to list it. Well worth the wait I reckon.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S VFO-A Dial Knob
Soon, but we're waiting for commitment on delivery for the next increased production run of these. As soon as we have that date and if it looks reasonable, we'll put the K3S VFO grip ring on the order form. Our prime reason for being careful on this is to not sell out all of our current stock of the grip ring and then not be able to ship K3Ss. 73, Eric /elecraft.com/ On 1/10/2016 6:43 AM, Tom Lizak wrote: When will the "new" VFO-A dial knob be available for purchase?...and price for the knob/rubber ring?

If you prefer a rubber ring to the metal knobs, I've had great luck with the Ten Tec rubber rings which feel perfect for my use. http://www.rkrdesignsllc.com/products/miscellaneous/trim-rings/ I have not tried to buy them recently but they still seem to be available for $12 at the link above.
