I have been using a weighted tuning knob on my Drake R8A receiver for three
years. It replaced the original plastic tuning knob. As far as I can tell,
the weighted knob has not damaged the encoder at all. The knob looks great and
the tuning is so smooth now. I got the weighted knob from 73cnc.com. It was
not cheap, but it sure improved the looks and feel of the radio. Joe WS9E
