WD-40 is a penetrating and moisture displacing oil, but over time gets gummy so is not a reliable long-term lubricant. Chip AE5KA On Sun, Mar 26, 2017 at 5:34 AM, David Woolley wrote: > WD40 is a preservative, not a lubricant. It will act as a penetrating > oil, to

Re: [Elecraft] K2 main encoder wanted

WD40 is a preservative, not a lubricant. It will act as a penetrating oil, to free seized parts, but for a longer term solution you want to look at sewing machine or hair clipper oil. On 25/03/17 20:57, Bob G3PJT wrote: I have managed to get the encoder turning reasonable freely. I put a

Re: [Elecraft] K2 main encoder wanted

Hi everyone I have managed to get the encoder turning reasonable freely. I put a very small amout of WD40 on the shaft where it enters the housing bush. And then did as Don suggested repeatedly and firmly pushed the knob up at the low point. After quite a lot of pushing it began to loosen up

That is the reason Elecraft changed to the new encoders - unobtainium! 73, Don W3FPR On 3/23/2017 3:16 PM, Doug Person wrote: Note that DigiKey no longer carries the encoders mentioned in this article. Neither could I even find the manufacturer listed in their directory of manufacturers. I

Thanks Guy I am going to get the encoder out from the front panel and then see what I can do to improve things. 73 Bob Sent by Ipad > On 23 Mar 2017, at 11:52, Guy Olinger K2AV wrote: > > If you can see the bend, very slightly file the "off" side of the shaft and > use

Re: [Elecraft] K2 main encoder wanted

If you can see the bend, very slightly file the "off" side of the shaft and use aluminum foil to shim the other side of the shaft at the end. This may relieve the drag. 73, Guy K2AV On Thu, Mar 23, 2017 at 6:00 AM Bob G3PJT wrote: > Yes the shaft is very slightly bent > > 73

Re: [Elecraft] K2 main encoder wanted

Hi Don Thanks for the reply. I did know about the new encoder kit but the problem is that of its cost when it gets here. Elecraft quote 124USD for the kit, that's £100 here which then gets VAT at 20% and a local handling charge - say a total of £130-140 and as well if I read things

Bob, You can get the new encoder from Elecraft - it is p/n K2ENCASY. It contains the new encoder, a new knob and several other components as well as the encoder board. If this is your only option, be aware that the spacing between the new encoder board and the back of the Control Board is
