[Drake] Spring metal inserts

[Transmaster]

If you are talking about the little wedges the insert in the insert on
the knobs I make them.
I get a small sheet of thin brass, copper, aluminum etc at the
hardware store and make them out if that.  I use hemostats to hold the
metal to fold the tab in half and a small file, or in my case a Dremel
to trim it to size. This is kind of a pain to do it this way but it
does work.  Much of the time the knob is kind of reamed out and the
regular sized wedges fit real loose so you can size it to fit tight.
If Antique Electronic supply has these things they don't list them in
their online catalog, ( http://www.tubesandmore.com/ )
I have some inquiries with some other antique radio parts site so we
will see what I can come up with.  Even though I make these wedges it
would be much nicer to have a supply of the manufactured ones.
