Hi, I am looking for a knob to go on a Diason radio.

Diason radio knobs


Also a 1.5 volt battery to go in the same radio. I intend to use the case to house a modern battery.


Thanks Michael.

Have you got a pic of one of the knobs. I have a bucket of knobs that I dont have a clue what they come from. They were in a bucket in the old workshop that I cleared out. so chances are if it was a popular radio I may have the knob.

.Flakes: "I have a bucket of knobs that I dont have a clue what they come from"

Does that bucket contain any Kriesler disc-shaped knobs like those pictured in the following link?

Hi Guys

Had a bit of a look in the bucket. There are none of that type in there. it seems like Murphy is close and owned the bucket because it never has the knob I need until I get rid of the radio and then a knob shows up! Wink

My Duplex has very different shaped knobs. mind you mine is a Duplex 5 21-4

Will Keep an Eye out for more knobs.
