N8BX Knobs. Another FS Set

[Bob-270]

Well Phil sold his pretty quickly so I'll put mine up with the same offer.

Original style set for the K3.   $100 shipped.

As new condition.  Why?   I liked the feel of the originals but upon seeing the
new version had a nostalgia attack.   Reminded me of the Heath SB series I had
and the Collins S line I wanted.

73,
Bob
K2TK  ex KN2TKR (1956) & K2TKR





Have been sold.Thank you!

Hey, can I ask what these knobs are? I'm pretty new to the K3 (thought
my K2 would be all I ever needed but boy was I wrong). :)

WHY?  Set your knobs for very little or no drag at all.  Why replace them
with non-standard knobs so you can spin them?  Mine spin very well when
needed.  I turn my knobs with one finger riding on the outside edge of the
knob and tuning does not place virtually any pressure on the knob at all.
This requires that there is no turning friction on the rotation of the knob.
I set my knobs that way when I built my radio.  I don't need heavy knobs to
spin them.

What is it I don't understand about the problem that required heavy knobs?
I have never understood the heavy knob threads.

Check them out at www.73cnc.com. Very nice looking knobs with some weight
to them for those rapid freq changes.

In my case, I don't like the heavier knobs so that I can spin them.  I  
don't think that I have done that since the mid 1950's, when we got  
chased out of C&G Electronics in Tacoma for seeing who could spin the  
slide rule knobs hard enough to move the pointer all the way across  
the dial!  Instead, I like the "feel" of the heavier knobs.  It is  
easier to stop at just the right spot, and when the fingers move away  
from the knob it is more likely not to move.  A moment of inertia  
thing.  Probably, the more finger coordination, the less this  
matters.  But, I did find that it was easier to tune my K1 with 150  
Khz tuning range when I installed a K2 knob, reamed to 1/4 inch shaft  
size.
