Fisher KX 200 red power jewel help

[asech]

I just picked up a Fisher fixer KX 200 that among other normal missing knob caps and such, it is missing the Power Jewel. The red one in the center of the face plate. This jewel is bigger than the others on x202b of FM100b....I see those replacements on ebay but not this type.....
My question is does anyone know of a suitable replacement for it??

I have added a picture of my other one with the jewel

thanks in advance

Any good sized hobby store will have an arts & crafts section with a good selection of plastic jewels. The little ones are very hard to find and your only real source is the eBay seller, but the larger ones like you need are a little easier to get.

Good luck. Those are pretty hard to find.

I found a jewel for my X-101-B at a craft store. I've seen some nice looking reproduction jewels on Ebay.

Yes to the above I purchased two green jewels from a gentleman on ebay, he has
all the colors and he sells them one each if you need them.

Thanks to all..
The Jewels I see on ebay are smaller than the one I need...

I will search a couple of craft stores near me..Thanks for the info:thmbsp:

If all else fails, this may be the time for installing a headphone jack. :scratch2:

Steve,
Whoa..
I'm still patting myself on the back for swapping the resistors....
The Headphone jack is out of my confidence level....right now

but that is awsome and exactly what these KX units need....:yes:

I can't take credit for the jack. The guy that installed it was quite good.

PM me if you choose to try it.

BTW, the kx200 has always sounded better to my ears than the 500C.

Thanks Steve...

Do you have a speaker switch on that? did you use the monitor switch
to cut them out...? looks interesting....:scratch2:

I will let the X202B do the head phone duty for now...
