Hi all,
I am at the last piece of the puzzle with making my 100% original; the radio.
Where ever I look, there are two different types of knobs for LH radios.
I've googled and get mixed results, I've checked all my books with no definitive answer, and even on eBay, there are two differnt options. My radio, an Air Chief Deluxe has one of each sort of knob, but I don't know which one is right It doesn't have the pre-set buttons like a lot of the Air Cheif radios I've seen, and has white numbers and white needle. Check these 2 listings on ebay to see my dilemma; 260797369382 (big chunky type) is an Air Chief (not deluxe), and 250831096086 (smaller type).
Any help would be appreciated. I can be reached directly at [email protected] if anyone has any ideas.

Cheers,
Neil.

Duh!
Just realised I had a blonde moment....
Of course it's the smaller ones, they match all the other controls in the car!!
Sorry to waste your time guys..

No worries. Unicorns aren't real anyways.

At least you got one of each knob. Mine is knobless.

The chunky ones are for the UC aren't they and the smaller ones which look like the rest of the knobs as Neil said are LH/LX is this correct?

The UC ones are different again, the large ones are from the 'full size' range; Kingswood etc.

@ Lima31, I wasn't going to mention the final price!! LOL! Now I won't get one cheap...

And yes Yella, Rares SHOULD make them for $10! Even $10 each, I'd go for that, but not $161!!
