John, If I recall, your K2 is an earlier one. The currently supplied AF Gain controls from Elecraft have a metal sleeve around the shaft and are much more durable than the first ones. I do not know of a more durable replacement other than those currently stocked by Elecraft.
If your K2 is below SN 3000, I suggest adding the Alternate AF Gain Wiring Mod to your K2 at the same time you replace the AF Gain control. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/31/2011 5:33 PM, John Ferguson wrote: > The AF Gain pot on my K2 is getting loose.
