John,
If I recall, your K2 is an earlier one. The currently supplied AF Gain
controls from Elecraft have a metal sleeve around the shaft and are much
more durable than the first ones.
I do not know of a more durable replacement other than those currently
stocked by Elecraft.
If your K2 is below SN 3000, I suggest adding the Alternate AF Gain
Wiring Mod to your K2 at the same time you replace the AF Gain control.
73,

Everything else on it has held up well and exhibits not wear, other than the usual scuffing. i did have to replace the headset jack a couple of years ago but decided for that, that dedicating a headset to the k2 was easier than replacing the jacks.
