Bob,
Thanks for the speedy reply. I tried the rubber ring and it was indeed
pushed in too far. As you advised, I pulled it away from the panel and the
dial is noticeably smoother now. Not quite as much as I would prefer but
certainly far better then before. Thanks!

Mike:
Make sure the rubber ring on the outside of the knob has not been pushed
back against the front panel. Otherwise, there are no adjustments.
I have had inquiry as to how to add more drag. My suggestion is, as
other companies have done, add a piece of closed cell sheet packing, in
the form of a 1" diameter washer with a 1/4" hole in the center. Remove
the knob, 2 set screws under the rubber ring, put on the foam washer,
and put the knob back in place. To get more or less drag, just adjust
the knob with respect to the front panel.
