Default Re: Making /casting knobs for the AWA

That's the problem I had with the knobs I made for my Ekco A22, I tried to cast the new knobs with the pre-drilled and tapped insert, so it would come out of the mould and be ready to fit, after a little bit of sanding, to the radio. It's not so noticeable on the volume and wavechange knobs, but the tuning knob is awful!!! I'm going to have another go when I get time, this time with better jigs that become part of the mould. I would use the lathe, but the chuck on mine is too small to accept even the volume knob!

Regards,
Lloyd
