Tom,

The new knob and ring is coming soon. I would give it a week.
There was a 'glitch' in getting it listed.

Plus the rubber rings are available in various colors.

Unfortunately with the changes in the organization as Paul the Service
Manager retired, things are running a bit slow in that department. Also
it seems a previous owner sold almost everything including the paper
rolls in the toilet. Well that's another story.

The new owner has a different outlook on business and the future of the
company. http://www.tentec.com/

There is a "[hidden email]" address and a "[hidden email]"
address. I presume those are there for those reasons.

I spent all my spare money on my new K3S thus I have no need
{translation: money} to order anything at present.

If you prefer a rubber ring to the metal knobs, I've had great luck with the
Ten Tec rubber rings which feel perfect for my use.

http://www.rkrdesignsllc.com/products/miscellaneous/trim-rings/

I have not tried to buy them recently but they still seem to be available
for $12 at the link above.

Soon, but we're waiting for commitment on delivery for the next increased
production run of these. As soon as we have that date and if it looks
reasonable, we'll put the K3S VFO grip ring on the order form.

Our prime reason for being careful on this is to not sell out all of our current
stock of the grip ring and then not be able to ship K3Ss.

If you look at the main home page link of the one K5WA posted below,
http://www.rkrdesignsllc.com/ , near the bottom of the page it states:

RKR Designs LLC no longer sells or services Ten Tec products. For all Ten-Tec
products, Sales and Service, go to: www.tentec.com

The tentec.com site has a single placeholder page with a statement by the new
owner and is not taking any product orders at this time.

Re: K3S VFO-A Dial Knob

Eric,

I am wrapped (not physicaly) in the feel of the k3s band on vfo A, my advice to all is to wait for Elecraft to list it.
Well worth the wait I reckon.

Just a happy user...😊
