Default Small parts for vintage American radios

My wife and I will be on holiday in London during the Christmas season. If any of you in Great Britain have need of small parts from old American radios, I'd be happy to bring them tucked away in our luggage. Things such as knobs or other small internal or trim parts would fit. Perhaps with the several month's lead time remaining, together we can find the bit you've been looking for. Let me know if I can assist you.

Hello Carter,

That's very kind of you. Hopefully we will be overhauling my RCA Victor 1R81 Livingston before the end of the year, it's been fine until recently but after working for around for an hour or so it starts to distort so we may well need parts from the USA.

Hope you both have a great time in London.

Hello Howard:

Let me know if I may be of help... I don't recognize the RCA Victor model number you mentioned.

We spent a Christmas season in London several years ago and enjoyed ourselves immensely.
