Another little tip on the K2 knob (which I remember posting on here a long time ago but worth repeating). I had a continual problem with my K2 knob in that the black paint on it rubbed off leaving the silver metal showing through, making it look horrible. I had various tries with car touch-up paint, which made it look even worse. One day I was looking through a box of old electrolytic capacitors, of the mains smoothing type. I noticed some which had a circular black piece of plastic on their top about the size of the K2 knob. I cut it out from the capacitor and stuck it on the face of the knob with double sided tape. Superb, and still doing the job a couple of years later. I suppose I could also add one of the dimples, but personally I have never found the lack of one a problem. 73 Dave G3YMC K2 #2498 http://www.davesergeant.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
