Which knob?

You might want to look for a second Realistic STA 2000D for parts. I'm sure they will come up, since they made quite a few of them.

What happened to the original?
Do you know anyone w/a mechanical background?

sorry to say but this unit was found in a dumpter, looked like it landed on the tuner knob and broke off.its easy to get out,i just dont have parts to fit,i have several parts donors but the sta is too different.i may just use it as a amp.

You should contact a machine shop or a gunsmith owning a lathe.
Other options would be someone running a CNC machine-
That can't be a difficult task to re-make.
Talk to some college kids taking M.E. technology courses.
And it would be a shame to rob parts from an otherwise fine receiver, not to mention, a receiver that you just don't find available everywhere.
