[Hallicrafters] Rare Knobs

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

 I don't think the material Bakelite lends it self very easily to 3D 
printing.

Most of the 3D printed items I've seen have used a fairly low melting point 
& low grade plastic.

In order to get a realistic looking knob, it would probably have to be 
painted.

73, Charlie k3ICH
