high quality machined metal tuning knob for communications receivers
I have 1 3/4 inch by 5/8 inch metal black tuning knobs for sale. they
have a raised dimple for your finger tip and look very sleek and cool. they have a 1/4 inch hole for the tuning shaft. they use two set screws to hold them in place. they are $9.50 each or 2 for $18 with free shipping to the USA. add $5 for foreign shipping. they work fine on at least these radios: drake R8 series Drake SW-8 Grundig Satellit 800 and should work on any radio with a 1/4 inch tuning shaft. pics at: http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/bc/mma...=/knob&.view=t |
Mike:
Mine just arrived and it's already on my R8A. The knob is high quality, heavy and looks great. It looks like Drake designed it. What an upgrade from the plastic knob!

I've never wondered why that feature was important? I can probably enter a frequency in faster with the keypad than you can get to where you're going that way. In the old days I can see where that might have been a nice feature as it made QSY'ing much easier. But with todays rigs I don't miss that at all.
