Subject:, VFO B knob cracked

[KH7T]

Very interesting.

I have S/N 125 K3.  I had gotten one of the heavier knobs for the main
tuning and replaced the B vfo knob with the original large knob.

The original small knob has been in the spare parts box for several
years.  It now has the same crack as shown in the pictures. All the way
across and almost all the way down the dial face.I am pretty sure it did
not have the crack when it was removed.   I had been thinking about
putting it back on but now will not.

Aloha,
John KH7T

All of the knobs on the K3 and KX3 are under warranty for the life of the radio
(assuming we are still here ;-)

It's a sign of growing older, Eric.

I have been happy to offer "lifetime support" for my PA control boards
since 1999... but as years go by, a small voice inside begins to ask:
"Can you be more specific, please?"
