Old stereo knobs...that's brilliant!
How the heck did you make this...its friggn awesomeOriginally Posted by iRoadster
Made some bitchin' free retro HVAC knobs earlier this evening. There's even enough knobs from the receiver to make one more set.
Took these:
Made them into this:
Thanks all.
Basically just drilled the plastic out of the inside of the knobs (see below), filed down the ends heater knob arms to make them just a bit narrower, (they were the same diameter of the knob holes) and they went right on.
Dumb easy, if you ask me. I'm going to change the AC part though, I don't quite like it yet and it could fit better.
The metals really soft and I shitted up two of them. Good thing there were extras.
I feel kinda bad pilfering parts off of a nice vintage receiver since these (Pioneer SX-1010) still hold a pretty decent value, but it's been sitting in the garage for years. I'm not even sure if it still works.

Ha ha ha, that's reery funny.
But seriously, years ago, I spent AGES looking for something to work with the sliders. I tried a ton of things. Nothing worked, so I bought the chrome KG Works blobs. Your radio switches are fantastic.
Not particularly exciting, but this what i have.

Cermivelli, what window cranks are those! Beautifully done.
They look like Lotus cranks. I've been wanting a set for a long time, but was unsure if the spider size is the same.
They are actually cheap ebay cranks.
