Hi all, I've found an Astor R11P-7 11" television for sale, but it is missing the plug, two knobs on the front and possibly one antennae (trying to verify that). Is it easy to get these parts? It's mainly finding the knobs that I'm worried about. Cheers, Chris

Chris, if you have one knob as a sample there are a reasonable number of people who can reproduce them for you. Antenna, I assume you mean a telescopic one.. They are around and turn up from time to time. Most early transistor radios had them, as did cordless phones and 'ghetto' blasters. WES also have a small selection of antennas What plug is missing? Is it on the mains lead? If I were you, grab it if its at the right price, and begin the search, thats half the fun cheers ben

Redxm, The knobs missing on the front appear to be the power/volume control and contrast control. It appears to have neither. I'm pretty sure that it's the mains plug missing. Would $40 be a good price for one of these (which appears to otherwise be intact)? Chris

Chris. Those Astor knobs shouldn't be too hard to locate. They were used on a lot of Astor products from the early to mid '60s. You'll be able to see what they look like on a recent post here dealing with the same TV. Cheers.

Redxm, Don't worry. I contacted the seller offline, but doubt I'll be able to pick it up... Chris
