K3 Neoprene ring

[k6dgw]

OK, feeling really stupid here, but my K3 is S/N 642, it's obviously
been a long time since I assembled it, and at my age, "remembering a
long time" is a non-starter.

How do I get the Big Knob off the radio so I can put the ring on?
There's no set screw [that I can find].

Hi Fred,
No need to remove the knob. 
Just remove the existing rubber ring (use a small toothpick or something that won't scratch the knob)to make space between the knob and rubber until you can grip the rubber) and replace it with the new one.  That's how I did it.
Good luck,
Bob/AA6VB

No set screw Fred. It sits up against a shoulder at the rear of the
metal knob. Just loosen it up from that shoulder and it will slip right
off.
