[Hallicrafters] SX-117 and HT44 Large VFO Knob

[Lee Bahr]

I have a broken VFO knob for my SX-117 receiver.  It appears I'll never

find a used replacement.  I'm thinking of having some made. Not sure if
they will be cast or machined metal.

First off, does anyone sell replacement spun aluminum center discs for
these knobs?

Second is there anyone on here interested in obtaining one if I have
them made?  I say interested as right now I have no further info to pass
on.

Right now I don't know the cost or if they will be molded plastic or
machined metal.  Whatever I do, they will look good or I won't do it.
It sure would help if the spun aluminum discs are available.   I'm sure
the spinner handle could be machined.

These radios are not cheap and without a nice knob, my radio as is is
bothering me big time.  I don't expect this to be a $10 knob, but if I
have a few made up, I will most likely be able to get a better price for
all of us.  Let me know if you are interested.  It will give me a feel
for the demand.  As you all know, these knobs are for the most part
unobtainable.  I'll then keep all informed as to my progress as the
project moves forward. This is going to be a one time deal.  I don't
plan to go into business selling them.  Now maybe your only chance to
get a decent knob for your receiver or transmitter or transceiver.
Write me privately if you want further details as they happen.
