Email Elecraft and they will replace the knob at n/c. I ordered a rubber ring from Ten Tec to go over the knob for a better feel. Really nice.

Is there any further update on this please? The paint has well and truly gone and as a result the radio looks " 2nd hand" It certainly doesn't perform " 2nd hand" ! Here in VK6 we dont have the advantage of Europe or NA , I'm lucky if I hear a signal on 40 or 20 these days never mind "picking them out from the interference " So the tuning knob gets a LOT of work. This is the penalty for living in the most isolated city on the planet. One day my K3 will come into its own from Perth , I just hope I live long enough to experience my 3rd sunspot maxima !
