Wanted- good knobs for KX170/KX175

[knute]

I've got some very serviceable KX175 radios in my bird, but the knobs on one are starting to crack from age.  If anybody has an old KX170 or KX175 gathering dust on a shelf in your hanger (working or not) that has some good frequency selector knobs / lever knobs, I'd love to buy the knobs from you!  (Or, if anybody knows a source for some new ones that have been squirreled away)

Yeah, I know- I should be putting in more modern radios, but these work- the budget last year went into paint, and the budget this summer is going into new landing gear biscuits.

Thanks for the heads up on the ebay listing!  I saw that one, but unfortunately the ones that are cracking for me are the "outer" frequency selector knobs that sit right below the smaller ones on the concentric shaft.

Those things are rare.  I think the best upgrade wthout spending too mcuh money is a MX-170 Michel radio.   Slide in replacement.

I'll keep an eye out. I am getting a KX-170B repaired at this time...
