Alan, Don is right. I thought I had done the right thing some years ago, ordering what I thought was the same pot from a UK supplier. I still have it in my drawer of bits somewhere - it didn't fit. I then ordered from Elecraft, not stupidly expensive although the shipping always bites it seems to me, and all was well. (Wish I'd never sold the K2 but I had to at the time to part fund the K3, which I still have :-)
