I found a large O-ring, black rubber, stretched it out with pliers several times until I could simply slip it over the VFO knob and back from the edge perhaps a sixteenth of an inch or so all the way around. It looks good, blends in with the rig, and by placing a fingertip anywhere around the circumference of the knob with a bit of my finger resting on the O-ring, it tunes very easily. It's as good as a dimple or a pimple, it's cheap, it's easy, there's no glue or solder involved and the O-ring should slip off easily if I ever decide to try something else. So far, it works well enough that I haven't even been tempted to search for any alternatives.
