[Elecraft] K3 - Small Knobs

2012-03-09 Thread Larry Boekeloo
I purchased a used K3 a few weeks ago and the small knobs (shift  width) seem 
to be a little loose on the shafts.  I see that they are push ons.  Has 
anyone taken one off to check the spring?  I can only surmise that I have to 
pull them quite firmly to get them to come off?  Any help out there?  Thanks.  
Larry, KN8N

Larry,

Are they really loose, or is the loose sensation an artifact of them 
having a pushbutton function as well.
Is there a chance that the original builder damaged the springs when he 
installed the knobs on your K3?
A steady pull will normally remove those knobs.
