K2: Replacement tuning knob for K2?
Locked
 
|
Hi Jim, I bought one of Fred's knobs. You'll find the details and a video demo here: www.73cnc.com Beautiful product, aesthetically and functionally. Makes the K2 VFO a joy to play with and to look at. I always thought that the stock VFO knob was cheap looking, too light to allow a good spin and felt harsh to my finger tips :) Fred's service is excellent too. I bought the black one. Expensive? Perhaps, but then, my K2 wasn't cheap and I intend to keep it forever, so a beautiful knob is a great investment. It's worth every cent, IMHO. 73, John VK7JB >Some years ago there was a discussion about replacing the stock tuning >knob on the K2 with a heavier one with a finger dimple. >Could someone refresh my memory on what knob was used? >I'm thinking about one that Ten-Tec sells; a heavier metal knob like I >used to replace the stock knob on my Argonaut V and 516/"6N2." ------------------------------------------------------------ This email was sent from Netspace Webmail: http://www.netspace.net.au ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Elecraft also has a very nice new weighted know for the K2. I just
bought one, $27.02. Part number E850013. 73s Jim, W4ATK On Jan 21, 2011, at 6:12 PM, [hidden email] wrote: > > Hi Jim, > > I bought one of Fred's knobs.

Bill,
Individual part numbers are not listed on the Elecraft website. You will find part numbers in the manuals. Yes, E850013 is the stock K2 tuning knob, and it IS weighted (all of them are) with brass. If you ask [hidden email], you can also obtain the knob without the brass insert - it is less expensive and the old brass body can be re-used. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/22/2011 11:06 AM, Bill Coleman wrote: > On Jan 21, 2011, at 7:29 PM, JAMES ROGERS wrote: > >> Elecraft also has a very nice new weighted know for the K2.

Don, not according to my K2 manual. It lists E980013. The "new" knob
is E850013. it is new to me anyway....<GRIN> and apparently to a lot of others. Madelyn gave me the number when I tried to order the old E980013. 73s Jim, W4ATK On Jan 22, 2011, at 11:55 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Bill, > > Individual part numbers are not listed on the Elecraft website.

Does the new knob have the irritating sharp edges?

Jim,
OK, my mistake for not looking at the first digits. Anyway, my point was that all the K2 knobs have always been weighted, and secondly that part numbers are not listed on the webpages. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/22/2011 4:29 PM, JAMES ROGERS wrote: > Don, not according to my K2 manual.

Guy,
The one on the new K2 I am building (arrived just last week) has the same knob from all appearances. The sharp edge is not a problem for those who use a finger alongside the knob for tuning, but for those of us who use a "thumb on the rim", the thumb get sore after a while. A rubber tire (broccoli band) is one cure. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/22/2011 4:34 PM, Guy Olinger K2AV wrote: > Does the new knob have the irritating sharp edges? > > On Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 4:29 PM, JAMES ROGERS<[hidden email]> wrote: > >> Don, not according to my K2 manual.
