About 2 or 3 months ago, my friend BD7IP met the same problem during the normal operate(factory built). So I send email to elecraft to get the spare part for him and other K3 user in China, including me of course, after 2 weeks it arrived for free. They kindly send me 6 or 8 knobs. Good enough service! About 1month ago, mine K3 (#130x) 's AF knob also broken during the normal use. I replace one with spare part, but it broken again after 2 days. Thanks god I have another one, this time I assembled it very careful. It works well so far.
all the best!
