[TenTec] MUSHY KNOBS

[Denton]

I used to have a 580 Delta...didn't take long before the bandswitch got a 
crack where the set screw was...
Ditto for my Omni and my Corsair II..
I took a small piece of steel wire, wrapped it around the outside of the 
inner part of the knob on each...that solved that.

>> Yes, Dave you could buy another knob from Ten Tec but it would break the

>> Some people don't even know it is split until they go to turn the

>> So, if a better way is found to make a product better why no use it?
>> Those non insert knobs have been a problem for Ten Tec too.
>> It was just a poor design.
>> Even Ten Tec would go with that feeling.
