Hi Greg,
    I like your tip on a rounded head setscrew to smooth out the burrs.
Common problem on SP-600 knobs, where they have a recessed area for the
set screw.  People clamp down on the edge, or don't remove the screw
enough, or some such.  I guess it was supposed to eliminate the problem,
but seems to make it worse.
tnx, 73,
