Re: [Elecraft] OT - Sources for Vintage Radio parts

[Neil Gallensky]

Ted,

There are a number of sources of vintage radio knobs, however because of the 
huge and variable inventory associated with vintage parts, few vendors have an 
online catalog with photos of their parts.  One vendor who does have photos of 
some reproduction knobs for Philco sets on his website:

http://www.renovatedradios.com/productlist.php

A couple of additional possibilities who have lots of knobs for sale at vintage 
radio swap meets:

Mark Oppat at http://www.oldradioparts.net/knobs.html

And Jim Sargent (who runs an auction house as well as selling old radio parts) 
at http://www.sargentauction.com

She’d likely need to send the radio’s model number and/or a photo directly to 
these resources to assist in tracking down the needed knob. The good news is 
that members of the antique radio community are generally great at helping 
folks looking to locate a needed component, and Philco sets were among the most 
common radios sold through the 1930s and 40s making parts more available . . .

I attended a performance today by a woman who does a Rosie the Riveter routine 
as if she is speaking from 1944, dramatizing principally the roles of women 
during WWII.  One of her props was a 1930-something stand-up wooden Philco 
BC-SW radio.  I noticed - and spoke with her about it afterward - that one of 
the knobs on the radio is not authentic.  It looks like a Hammarlund knob from 
the 60s.  The rest are wooden and look the part.  She asked if I knew where she 
might look for something that would be closer to the original.  Anyone who does 
vintage radio restorations know of some sources I could pass along?

Thanks, as always . . .

A few years ago i came across a portable OPS set-up for the K1 WHICH CONSISTED  
BASICALLLY of a metal tool box or maybe a fishing tackle box.  The box  
contained the K1 radio plus all accessories for the station.
 There were two strap hinges attached to the op of the metal tool/tackle box.  
These fold down flat when not in use. The hinges are folded up 90 degrees to 
the top of the box and the K1 is attached with thumb screws much  like with the 
KTS1 TITLT STAND,
 When finished operating the thumbscrews are rremoved and the station equipment 
neatly packed away and the hinge supports ares are folded down flush for 
storage.
 For the life of me I cannot locate the website article.  DOESanyone recall the 
article I  am referring to?
 I am in the process of borrowing the concept but ustilizing an AMMO BOX.. The 
Hinges are located  on the backside of the lid.  and the K1 is installed upside 
down.  attached to the hinges.  Open the lid and the K1 is ready to go attached 
to the hinges.
 In the bottom of the  the AMMO can i is stored the station accessories.  The 
AMMO CAN and the battery are heavy enough to support a fishing-pole mast for 
the antenna..
 I would like to give credit to the author of the original article for the 
idea.  Does anyone know the source?
