If an original doesn't eventuate, maybe you can get one turned up on a lathe.

Hi, if the adjusting rod is the same, have a look at my re-furbishment of 2 Admiral 5ACW clock radios in "special projects".
One had the original plastic rod. I used a piece of wood dowel from Bunnings for the other. I drilled a hole an inch deep in one end and split that end with a fine hacksaw blade and then wrapped some fuse wire around it so it would not split further when pushed over the clock spindle. The rod comes out of the back of the clock and pokes out through a hole on the back of the radio. Not original but better than nothing.
Cheers, fred.
