WTB Fairchild/ General radio knobs

[jocke153]

It feels like i have been looking forever for these. I'm looking for the ones used on a fairchild 670. If someone has them, i would pay ebay-prices for them.

Thank you/ Johannes

It is a bit of a hunt. Did it myself. I found all of them on eBAY, but it took a while and a lot of money *for knobs at least". Dakaware are not the correct knobs, if you are really being a stickle for original. General Radio as you mention in your title are the correct ones. Mine are at work or Id give you the part numbers off of the back. It will make your hunt a little bit easier.

edit: I remember the big ones are KNSP-8 General Radio

 

[jocke153]

Yes, knsp-8. That name is like printed in my brain now

The funny thing is i missed 8 of them like two months ago. Becuse i thought, they Will turn up agian.

What are you building that requires that faithful approach? Obviously some sort of 670, but what?

 

[jocke153]

Oh, its just the drip 670. I guess i just want it to look as close as the original as possible.

 

[mdainsd]

I've only heard good things about the Drip, and the V2 board seems the way to go.
What you are going to run into is the case and the front panel. There are some very nice ones out there but the differences between them and original can be spotted from across the room (or parking lot  )

Your other two part numbers are:

3 each: KNB-1 General Radio
2 each: KNB-2 General Radio

 

[jocke153]

Yes  It wont be a 100% true to the original but.
I always thought that those GR knobs are so nice.
