Greetings,
This may be an old trick & it may be something I came
up with a long time ago when I remember doing it to the
knob on my TR7 but regardless, here's what I did & it
did work very well. (better than my memory it
appears...)
remove the tuning knob. Fill the inside with lead shot.
Use hot glue from a hot glue gun to seal in the shot or
use rubber cement to do the same. (I experimented
awhile till I found the right heft, removed the BB's & then
mixed the bb's in rubber cement & then put the whole
sticky mess inside the knob) I did the latter part to
assure no future rattling of bb's as the knob turned.
It's a nice easy fix and can be undone if wished with no
damage to the outside of the knob.

P.S. I personally like the easy tuning feel on my
Corsair II, I thought about doing the lead shot addition
with this rig 10 years ago when I sold the TR-7 & got the
Corsair but decided I liked it better the way it is. Since I
like contesting & am always moving the knob; easier
is... well, easier...
