| I think this is one of those things where you either get hung up on this or 
you don't.  My Omni VI's knob has a slight wobble--I couldn't care less.
I'll say this for the Orion, at least it has two decent tuning knobs.  I 
noticed the IC7800 has one standard knob and a dinky.  It also continues the 
ICOM "tradition" of using tiny stem knobs on the bottom of the f.p. for 
things like rf power, something I adjust way too often to want to use a 
micro knob for.
