Hi all,
I received mine in the mail today, also 2 days after requesting it. Kudos to Elecraft for doing this way out of warranty free replacement (ser# 82) in the first place, but also to USPS for delivering regular mail in 2 days. The USPS, often unfairly maligned, is really an excellent service.
It installed easily after I was first stumped by the fact that the 5/64" Allen key was missing from my inch set, but fortunately the 2mm one from the metric set did the job. 5/64" = 1.98mm. Now to hunt for the missing Allen key. First move: Ask the XYL where it might be. She's a real super finder.
I had a close look at the removed knob and methinks that it would not eventually fall apart as the concentric knobs tended to do when they cracked. I still have spares for these after Elecraft sent me a complete set of replacements for all 4 many years ago (free of charge of course).
