<p>Wow! Amazing! </p>
<p></p>
<p>I have some knobs here, that were moulded plastic copies of wood knobs, made 25 years ago when our local club was trying "new" technology of making molds with dental silicone...not nearly as nice as those! </p>

<p>Not sure if these pictures of the knobs will show up. Side by side example of an original and a repro wood knob that Ben has made. He is working on the pinch knob now and is still working on refining this round knob design a bit. The repro obviously has the crisper cross hatching on the knob face.</p>

<p>I suspect the knobs were done with a press back then. Having a die cut, you could punch out many knobs each day. Today's laser tools are superior though.</p>

He does have one each of the round and pinch knobs (see, I used the correct name). Now that the design on the knob is digitized, the laser does the work on creating the design on the face. He does hand turn each knob on a lathe. He wasn’t quite happy with his first “test” knobs (although they looked great to me) but he now has knobs he is happy with. I will post some pictures when I get back to town. I could also send a sample of the knobs if you would want to take a look at them. I would just need to know where to send them.

I should have asked earlier. I am only aware of the wood knobs that are on the Phantom. Were there other styles or wood knobs that were used on on other EH Scott radios? If so, I am sure Ben would be happy to produce them.

<p>Forest - That's great news. Can he do a run of, say, 10 or 20 of each style? I'm able to provide examples if he needs them, sounds like he's already seen yours. Let me know...this is really great!</p>

Kent, I think that is a great idea. I found this guy on line who happened to sell Zenith repro knobs. People who had bought them rave about them. I reached out to the guy (Ben) over the internet. He said he would be happy to try to duplicate one if he had an original sample. Not knowing where he was located I asked for his mailing address....only to find out he lives 5 miles away from me.

He made me a “sample” and it looks awesome. (He collects Zenith radios from the 30’s) I primarily collect repwood radios but have a couple of Scott’s as well. I was always missing one knob for my Emerson Mickey Mouse repwood radio. I have never even seen one for sale in 25 years. He made a perfect copy out of walnut for me. Once I post some pictures I am sure you guys will be happy with his work. Forrest
