[Hallicrafters] Newbie with a "Want"

[NR5A]

Just discovered this list, and I'm looking forward to being a member.

This past weekend I picked up a almost mint S-53A. This baby is clean inside and out, and plays like a champ. I'm listening to 40m cw on it as I'm typing this. The only problem is the Main Tuning & Bandspread knobs are chipped. Is there anywhere I can pick up a good set? Anyone got some???

Also in the shack is a SX-140 and HT-40 pair, they both work, and I'm not planning on cleaning them up. I used a SX-140 as a Novice.

Also under the bench is a dead S-38B, its next in line for cleaning/repair soon as I get my current project done which is cleaning up a old Ameco AC-1 and teaming it up with the S-53A.  

I get a kick out of old Novice type stations. Well, got to go back to my project. Now about those tuning knobs?????

Thanks guys!
