I have a nice 1934 RCA model 118 radio restored, but it has two missing knobs, which I would like to correct. Antique Electronics has lots of knobs, including reproductions, but at a hefty price. They don't have knobs that would match the originals on this radio. Can anyone direct me to a good source of vintage radio knobs? Thanks for looking at my query.

Here are two more options for you if the first one doesn't work out: one is a web site that I forgot the name of, but I remember the guy's e-mail address. He makes an amazing amount of plastic injected escutcheons and knobs that look beautiful (like marble plastic, etc.). His e-mail address is oldtimerep@aol.com. Ask him what his web page is so that you can look at it. ...Or you can simply ask him if he can make your knobs for you or if he has some made. He will custom make them if he doesn't have the knobs at hand. His prices are very fair.

The other option I was going to suggest is eBay. Just type in radio knob or old radio knob, antique radio knob, vintage radio knob, etc. It will check both plural and singular forms of whatever you search under.
