Thanks Larry. As it happens I have already contacted him following your previous success. Alas, no luck there with this particular knob.

Try Steve at savell.com.bigpond.com. Steve has lots of knobs from the 50s and 60s era.

^ Good idea!

Update: Steve replied that he sold all his Radiola knobs way back to a guy in VIC who "won’t part with any no matter what", so I guess that means they went to a hoarder.

I guess one of the only other options is to wait till one of these models come up for bids on an auction site. They are seldom in good nick, usually having a missing knob or body damage and thus usually get passed in or go very cheaply. One of these could be useful for a knob or spares.

^ Indeed, I've been keeping a watch for that circumstance with the aim of offloading the unused bits at an HRSA auction. I'm sure one will turn up eventually.
