Well last month looking at my radio shop for junkies,I found we had a very old
Motorola service monitor,model 2400 that was lost in a big floding we had years
ago with one of the hurricanes but I kept it and guess what,it has lots of
machined metal knobs,some of them also concentric and then I tried on my K3 and
they fit so well that they look like Elecraft install them.You can see the
pictures at qrz.com and you will not realize that they are not the originals,so
good idea to look at what you saved years ago.

of nice machined knobs.
The fit the shafts ...perfectly... a tad big and gray
Look around your piles of stuff, you might find something that fit
perfectly
for field day,this gray color might be great to highlight the
af/balance controls.
the position indicators are cut into the front face of the
controls, so if you can see the knob, you see where it is
set.(nice)..( now to machine them down a bit.)bil
If I ever finish them ( black anodize) I'll make pictures,,,
