Hello, I have acquired my 4th one now which is missing one bolt which holds the front of the case to the rear. It had a bad crack in the casing also which I have repaired, however if anybody has a spare one of these and is willing to part with it, please contact me. There are 4 screws underneath holding the chassis to the case and two bolts, it is one of these bolts I need!

Also I have one missing two knobs, does anybody have, or know where I can get a couple of B15 Radiola knobs?
Cheers. Jamie.

I'm planning a knob moulding session sometime in the next couple of weeks, I need to clone a couple of HMV radiogram knobs. Send me one and I could make you a couple of replicas in clear epoxy. You'd have to drill and paint them. The epoxy is about the same colour as the anodised aluminium surround.

Can't help with the bolt. There is a store in Brookvale (NSW) called Bomonds (now part of Edcon steel) that is very good for unusual bolts.

If its a common bolt, there are plenty of Industrial suppliers that have a range.
