[Boatanchors] Collins S-Line weighted main tuning knob

I finally got a "finger hole" main tuning knob for the last of my S-Line equipment (one of my 75S-1 receivers).  Because of this, I now have a non-finger hole main tuning knob extra.  Years ago, I added weight to this knob in the form of 18 .36 calbre lead balls normally used in black powder pistols.  This makes the knob function pretty much the same as the actual weighted knobs that were an option for the Collins S-Line and KWM-2 series units.

This knob has the "D" shaped hole (with the metal "spring") and, therefore, cannot be used with the round PTO shaft on the later versions.

If someone is interested in this knob, I am open for a trade deal.  Frankly, I don't want to even think of putting a dollar value on the knob!  With a trade, both sides are happy!
