Re: Strad Grand Piano Radio/Phono
Forgive me if I don't get the measurement notion right....
The distance between centers of the knobs is 8.2mm each one. Or.... 3 1/4inches. |

8.2 mm. is about the thickness of a smartphone.

Re: Strad Grand Piano Radio/Phono
If I couldn't get the 'correct' mechanism, my inclination would be to try and find something similar which would fit; possibly from a termite-wrecked Victrola.
Fitting something too modern but obsolete would seem like the worst of both worlds. That conversion must have been done by a homesick Co. Durham ex-pat! |
