I know of a few guys who have small businesses or cottage industries. You can try these for knobs:
Mark Oppat, Antique Audio, moppat@flash.net Parts, tubes, inexpensive caps Dave Frush, parts2many@aol.com Mike Koste, Gobs of Knobs, michael.koste@zurichna.com Play Things of Past, http://oldradioparts.com/ See the How to Order page Many transformers, speakers and other parts You will want to send a jpg closeup of the knob, plus measurements (helps to put a ruler by the knob in the pic), AND the type of shaft - flatted, round, slotted, etc. - PLUS the radio make and model. I had a contact in Europe looking for a Philips knob: Frag'Jan Zuerst -----Ask Jan First(R) Dipl. Ing. Jan Philipp Wuesten Elektronik Preiler Ring 10 ; D- 25774 Lehe, Germany Phone: +49-4882-6054551 Fax : +49-4882-6054552 <http://www.die-wuestens.de> (Deutsch, English, Francais) mail to <FJZ@die-wuestens.de> This was in 2006. I did buy 2 knobs from him at a very reasonable price and he was very helpful. One thing I would encourage you to do with these small businesses is to give as much info as possible in the first call or email. These guys have to put a lot of labor time into inquiries on top of inventory and parts salvaging. Trading 8 emails to get your info, then finding you aren't going to buy the item, really hurts them. They do desperately want to see radios put back together or they wouldn't be in business, so help them to help you. |
For people in or around Michigan there is the Michigan Antique Radio Club (M.A.R.C.) they have 4 swap meets per year. The one in July held in Lansing is huge 2 day event, lots of parts, tubes, knobs, and projects cheap! The only issue I have found is that it is outside so check the weather, if it is raining everyone covers up their stuff and it’s all over until the rain stops.

The West-Germans used a lot of stupid tubes on theyr radios... That's why you shouldda be carefoull when you buy one: you may find it in good condition, but you may not find replacement tubes |

The most comprehensive site for FM-only radios is the site belonging to Andrew Mitz:
http://www.somerset.net/arm/fm_only.html Another good one with a number of pictures and restoration stories is http://www.sparkbench.com/ He has a homebrew section linked on his first page that shows restored 1920's stuff such as an Ultradyne (and he shows the same schematic as mine). And for all of us who collect Philco: http://www.philcorepairbench.com/ |
For anyone interested in seeing and learning a bit about vintage pocket radios (and a few tube radios thrown in for good measure) please visit my Flickr photo site.
