K3 machined knobs

I looked at the photos:

Sorry, I don't like them and even if you replaced all of the K3 knobs they would still look after market and not help the value of the K3 IMHO

I take pride in my equipment and the K3 is the only Elecraft equipment in my collection.

I run portable operations most of the time now, Aug 13th to 20th is the next one (Mobile covering almost 3,000 kilometres) and the K3 does the job just fine, wish all my other rice burners did as good a job Hi Hi

Well, what works for one may not work for another.  Did I say that we all
had to have these knobs installed on our radios?  I'm glad your knobs didn't
crack nor had off-centered shaft openings.  Some of us on the other hand
weren't so fortunate.  Thanks for your sharing your opinion.

BTW, what does this have to do with value?  If you're so inclined to sell
your K3, then just put the stock knobs back on.  I on the other hand use
mine almost daily with no intention of selling.  No big deal...
