[Hallicrafters] SX-101 Knob

[Greg Gore]

Tom,


An SX-101 knob was just listed on eBay. The item number is 131953007298, not mine and I have no connection with the seller. There were several different knob styles used during the SX-101 / SX-101A production run; a thin raised edge, a thick raised edge and fluted. I think the current listed knob on eBay was supposed to have a thin raised edge which stood up about 1/8" around the knob and which was very prone to getting chipped and broken away. This one it looks like the entire edge has been removed, perhaps an attempt to make it look better but I mention it here so you can see the parts of a complete knob assembly. The knobs on later SX-101A receivers were the same style as SX-115 and SX-117.

First post to the list:

Picking up a (new to me) SX-101A later this week. I have not used one of these since the early 70's and am looking forward to recreating the station I first used as a novice.
 
Problem is the receiver I'm buying has a non stock tuning knob. Doing a web search I'm surprised to find that these knobs don't seem to be available anywhere.
 
Is this true??
 
Any suggestions for locating one or a type that looks good on the radio, maybe the SX-117 style?
 
Regards,
