[Boatanchors] Wanted: Johnson Ranger/Valiant Main Tune Knob

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

I wonder how a big chunk was removbed from that tuning knob without 
destroying the coupler on the shaft inside. There is no end to mysteries.

Good luck with your search. I have the knob but it is mounted on my own 
Ranger.

73,

Bill  KU8H
