Vintage Kenwood parts help,desperate!

[y2keglide]

So I'm saving an old Kenwood Eleven G receiver ( see thread http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/whats-best-to-clean-the-face-of-a-vintage-receiver.826023/#post-11686817)
and after exhausting all efforts to find a pair of toggle knobs part # K27-0070-04 no luck.
I've searched google, ebay,craigslist etc. for anything including a parts receiver or something even similar and so far nada.
Any thoughts on where to try next?

Also, patience will be key. This is older, so the parts are now uncommon.

Have you searched for a non-working receiver for parts? Is this a keeper, or something you may pass on to a new owner?

Yes I've looked for anything related (including a parts receiver) at all and yes it's a keeper. See the link I posted here ( http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/in...e-of-a-vintage-receiver.826023/#post-11686817 ) for the thread on the resto work I've done so far. I really like this big old receiver and it's going to look great when I'm done but finding these switch caps is going to be difficult it appears.

Nice. The BT WTB suggestion by ETLS above isn't a bad one.

Yes good idea, may do that on there and craigslist too.

This is the best idea. I put a WTB for a knob on an oddball old Heathkit amplifier and I got a response within an hour. They even refused money and sent it to me free of charge which was well above and beyond but greatly appreciated

Yes, there are some good folks on here!

Also put an automatic notification on ebay so it will email you when KENWOOD ELEVEN PARTS come up (or any word combo of your choice).
