[FreeBay] Need Bandspread knob for Realistic DX-160 receiver

Sat, 9 Mar 2002 01:03:39 -0000

Hi Carl
Great!  Yes, setscrews will be fine as the "substitute" had one.  A big ugly
thing with a white line <grin>.  Yes, that will make this set look much
better and I'm not a perfectionist anyway.  (It's not like it's a rare
Collins or anything).  Again, thank you and I owe you one.  I too have a box
of knobs but they've been picked over so many times there wasn't anything to
choose from.

Happy anniversary.

My address is...

Philip Atchley  KO6BB
2500 N. Hwy 59, Space 139
Merced, Ca. 95348.

73 de Phil  KO6BB
