[ARC5] Tuning Knob

[Tim]

Hi Adam - I have 2 of those receiver knobs.  Have had them forever but I
forget where I got them.  That link you posted is mine.  Here's a better
shot on my FrankenSet:

The "goober" who made them was pretty skilled IMHO, these are very nicely
made, no sign of corrosion, Electronic Series notwithstanding.....  These
have some pretty thick grease lube - very smooth...The "handle" even
rotates on the threaded post so you don't wear your fingers down while band
cruising... No numbers on it, the female ("They" ?) spline and lock knut
are brass as is the handle and post.  Appears that someone made a bunch of
them...I'm glad I have these 2..
