Noting I am not saying there is a cost-justification ... The non-stock weighted knob I have now on my K3 is quite heavy, very smooth and all rounded edges, so no sharp edges to irritate. Plus it has a ball-bearing dimple for silk-smooth dimple tuning.
Yeah, it is over the top, but I'm old and get to have over the top now and then. I didn't buy a Cadillac and stuck with the Fords, so I've got some left for splurging. 73, Guy K2AV On Tue, Jan 17, 2017 at 1:36 PM, Wayne Burdick <[email protected]> wrote: > Both the stock VFO A knob and VFO B knob are weighted.
