source for old receiver knobs?

[rando]

anybody know a good source for replacement knobs for vintage receivers-- in need of a function knob for a sanyo 2050, thanks! don't even care if it the right knob, just want a silver one that fits the shaft...

Radio shack has some universal ones with a set screw.

Mouser sells some nice ones.

A decent hardware store has some stuff. Mostly appliance, but they work.

Ebay, people selling them for a lot of money.

Begging on AK work sometimes

Process is in motion, starting with this thread.

Will one of these work? I borrowed the heat sink from it, so it's now a parts unit.

:scratch2:hmmmm..... looks like either the balance or selector knobs might work... pm sent!

If I'm missing a knob, I visit the shop of my local repair guy with the unit with the missing knob. He keeps a box of knobs that he's pulled from salvaged units over the years.

Once I selection one or a few, I hand him a couple dollars and off I go.

I'd check eBay. Lots of units get parted out and the parts show up there.
