FWIW, tuning knob concentricity is no less of an issue with Yaesu.  I have a
shelf full of main tuning knobs for the FT-1000D.  Yaesu sent me multiple
knobs back in the early '90s in an attempt to find one that didn't wobble.
They were good enough to allow me to keep all the non-centered knobs and one
day I will use them for a high power antenna tuner project.

I will add that the new professional photos of the Orion look
gorgeous....much better than the previous amateur photos from past hamfests.
