Ts18 fine tune knob

[timmy]

Well I'm at it again with another Motorola tabletop set. This time I'm looking for the fine tune knob in the center of the channel knob. If anyone has one that they don't need let me know if you would sell it and how much. Thanks.

What model do you have ? A bunch of models that use that chassis and have different fine tuning knobs - 7VT2, 7VT3, 7VT5, 9T1, 9L1 and 9VT1. Maybe the last of the VT71s too.

Well I got a ts18 chassis from eBay , didn't get it yet but I'm told that the only knob that comes with it is the channel knob with the numbers on it. If the tuning shaft is a standard size for these little sets then I would say vt71 the suitcase set . Hope that helps. The knob that's on the suitcase set is small brown and has a green circle in the center. Thanks

OK, the 7VT5 suitcase came in light and dark brown. I'm guessing you have the brown version light this: http://antique-tv-blazianu.pagespers...orola_7VT5.jpg

Renovated radio has reproduction dark brown knobs (scroll down to 'Motorola VT-71, VT-73 Television Knobs') that would fit, but might not be a perfect color match to your channel knob: http://www.renovatedradios.com/parts.html

You want the 'C' knob: http://www.renovatedradios.com/asset...MotorolaTV.jpg

Yes the C is the right one but it's not important that it would be perfect, it don't have to be even the color don't matter because the cabinet is in really sad shape. So I guess you don't have one.

Thanks bandersen for that information I never thought there was a place that sold knobs for such an old TV set .
