Wanted: tuning knob for ARC-5/SCR274 command receiver
 

Hi

Can anyone supply a splined tuning knob for one of the ARC-5 / SCR274
series command receivers? For direct connection to the receiver, not
the remote control.

Thanks

Hey, Hey, Hey! I feel your pain! Back in the late 1940's we used to use a
short section of automotive "vacuum" hose. There were knobs, but I was never
lucky enough to find one.

Splined, no. You can turn up a good interference fit one from a piece
of brass rod. (Might be repost, Google login was going troppo...)

I have used old radio or tv knobs that fit the splined controls.

Thats effectively what I am using now with a bit of rod to stiffen it
and accommodate a knob! You never know I might find the real thing one
day at a price less than the cost of the whole set!

Simon, I'd suggest you watch ebay, I've sold a couple
there over the years, only have one left that's on my ARC5.
I think the last one I sold went for about $30.

Good luck.

If I understand his original post, he has something that
"works" now, he's looking for the correct knob
for the ARC5.

Thanks to everyone for their comments and advice.

As I mentioned, I have fiddled something that works and gets me by.

These knobs are obviously very scarce and/or expensive and appear to
cost far more than my recently acquired unmodified BC-453-B for which
I was able to add a rack and dynamotor. The set now works well. I will
have to look out for another junker with a knob, which is how I found
the rack and dyno!
