Here are two pictures. I left the bottom RF knob off to give you an idea of how well the larger concentric knob slides onto the encoder shaft. It's perfect; no looseness or wiggling.

First of all, the knobs are incredibly well made and appear to be anodized black. There is a fat, white, indicator stripe on the barrel. There are also two set screws. The knobs fit PERFECTLY on the K3 with absolutely no shimming or modification required. Just take off the old plastic knobs and replace with these. The knobs themselves are expensive - somewhere in the neighborhood of 13 or 14 dollars per pair, but in my opinion well worth the investment. The outer diameter and length of the knobs themselves are also a tad larger than the OEM plastic pieces, making adjustments easier for fat-fingered types. Anyway, this is the part number again for anyone interested: 506-KN5700B1/4 The only downside to this is now none of the other knobs match, and all feel "cheap" compared to these Mouser units. 73 de James K2QI ______________________________________________________________ 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 _____ ______________________________________________________________ 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
