[Gonset] Knob/Backplate for Gonset

Mon, 21 Oct 2002 15:38:06 -0500

Hi John...

Thanks for the reply...I can't believe that the backplates would be in high
demand  and with an original Gonset I or II sometimes bringing less than
$50.00, the price for a backplate probably wouldn't be very high either. The
fabrication would be fairly easy, however...Perforated aluminum sheet from
Home Depot or Lowe's could be used.  The main tuning knob is another
story...Hope someone out there has a junker amp with a spare knob...:-)

Regards,

Walt, W2OKF
