[Heathkit] small Heathkit knobs

Hi,

I have several Heathkit radios in captivity here and the HR-10 has one 
(terribly) mismatched knob. At hamfest I found a box of cr*p with two of 
those knobs in it. So I bought the whole box. Yeah..one of "those" 
deals. I have cleaned up the knobs to now discover that Heathkit used 
some darker gray and some very light gray (almost cream colored) knobs. 
Mine are the dark gray like the drive control and mic gain on the 
DX-100. But the HR-10, DX-60, and HW-16 have the lighter colored knobs. 
The one that fits the volume control is the one I need. I don't need the 
tiny red or black knobs nor the larger tuning knobs.

Does anybody have one of those that is not needed any more? While we are 
at this, I have a couple of the darker gray knobs a la DX-100 that are 
available to whomsoever needs one (or two). All the rest of the knobs on 
all of my radios are "good". I loaned out the HR-10 and it came back 
with the substitute knob several years ago. The guy apologized for 
losing the knob. The one he subbed looks awful. I want to use the radio 
again and that means I have to *LOOK* at and touch it.

73,

Bill  KU8H
