[Boatanchors] Hallicrafters Knobs

[N4ue@aol.com]

Hi all. I am in the process of restoring a S-86 receiver. While it has little 
value as a high-performance receiver, it has sentimental value to me.
All is comong along fine. One of the main tuning knobs was broken (that 
fragile lip). I had carefully stored ithem until my new shop was up and running, at 
the new QTH. I was confident I could have repaired it.

I cannot find the knobs anywhere! I have plenty of spare, generic knobs. 
However, I would like to find a pair of original knobs for this old girl. Can 
anyone suggest a source? I have come close to buying a clunker S-85 on E-Bay, but 
then, I'd 'have' to fix that one up also. I have a very , very difficult time 
parting out anything.... ha ha 


thanks in advance,

ron
