Well, I'll jump in here. I had the same problem a few months ago when I assembled S/N 1889. The VFO A knob was way too loose no matter what I did. I had followed the instructions and installed one (1) felt washer under both the VFO A and B knobs. The B knob was fine. The A knob couldn't be adjusted to my liking. Then I noticed I had an extra felt washer (i.e., a total of three were included in the package). I added the second washer and life is good. I have it setup so I can spin it and get a nice smooth run (maybe 6 or 8 turns) as it freewheels but yet for my taste it's not too loose.
Like everything else of course it's all a matter of taste. Two washers worked for me. If it was an accident (they included too many) then it was fortuitous in my case. If by chance you have a third washer install it and life will be good. 73/Patrick W7TMT _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
