[Hallicrafters] RCA Radiola Knob

[Joe Connor]

Just from the pictures on-line, that knob looks similar, if not identical, to the knobs used on some of the later Radiolas. The issue may be that the Radiola 16 is relatively scarce, at least compared to the plentiful later models like the Radiolas 17, 18 and 60, so if the knob you need is the same as the knobs on these more plentiful later models, you'll have a better chance of getting one cheap.

Mike Koste is the guy to see for knobs. Scroll down the page on this link and you'll get his email address.

Another guy who might be able to help is Sonny Clutter. His webpage (w/contact info) is:

I hope this helps.
