FOUND: Used Victrola Cabinet Knob (Not New)

[John3313]

I would like to buy a used knob of the type below so I can clean it the way I did the existing three knobs (i.e. with WD-40 and Scotch-Brite, which removes the dirt and tarnish and leaves a fine matte finish.) My thought was that if I bought a reproduction knob that it wouldn't look like these vintage knobs even after matting per above, but I could certainly be wrong.

Are you going to Union? Should be easy to find one there. Jerry B.

I have looked here (Board index » TMF Town Square » Repairs, Parts, Dealers, Sales & Auctions) and don't see any business/person with 'Union' in the name. Can you please post a link or otherwise point me in the right direction?

Jerry is referring the huge annual phonograph collector's show that takes place in Union, IL, each June. Here's a link to more info.

This knob is from a Victrola. Is it what you want? Send a PM if interested.

Thanks everyone -- I am going to go with an offer I got via PM. Now I just need to edit the Post Title to show this request is closed out.

I will definitely check out the Union show for future reference. If there is a West Coast show someone please do let me know.
