 Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2014 4:00 pm Post subject: Need a little chromed disc! Ideas? |
 |
|
I know you lot are a highly resourceful bunch so I thought I'd ask for ideas. I noticed today that one of the little chrome finishers on the end of the radio knobs has dropped off. I couldn't immediately see it on the carpet so it's probably gone for all time, sucked up in a vacuum cleaner or something. 
That leave me needing a small chrome disc (or two to get them to match) because I don't want to look at a knob with a bare end!
Anyone got any obscure ideas where I could look for such an item - I have no idea where to start!
Cheers Rich...

| It's a Smiths Radiomobile valve radio which has been converted with a modern amplifier and with an aux input for an iPod. |

| How thick does this little chrome disc need to be? You can get chrome effect stickyback plastic sheet - only need to buy 1 A4 sheet via fleabay - that can look tolerably good in small doses. |

Thanks if you do have one that would be great. I also had a fiddle with the head of a drawing pin which is about right so if I can find one in chrome that may do the trick  |

I'm not sure if the size will be ok but you could try the chrome covers used on mirror screws.

Try Tadpole radios who might be able to help Rick. Anything must be better than being forced to look at a knob with a bare end  |

| Thanks for looking. I've found it's the same size as a drawing pin so may bodge one up with one of those |
