[Hallicrafters] SX-101 Knob

[Scott McDonald]

Hi Tom,

I checked my orphan radio box. I have the knob, I think, the black one with the chrome insert on it.  It feels a little small at 1 and 5/8 diameter but it is the same size of those typically undersized knobs on the receivers of that era so it could be right.  It's in average shape.  Maybe someone can weigh in on the size.

It does not have the 0 to 100 skirt but they are available on EBay for 12.95 new.

And if course as luck would have it, this knob isn't drilled for the skirt but you could drill or glue yourself.

If it is the right size knob, in the spirit of old novice rigs, which I'm fixing up a few of for this year's Novice Rig Round-Up myself, happy to mail it to you for nothin' if you can't do better.
