Knob source for RS-6



The RS-6 is a goofy 'survival radio' in 4 parts which all interconnect.
All parts same size & appear as ugly, longish black sardine cans.

I need the 2 knob sets.  One knob fits the RT-6 transmitter, the other 
the RP-6 power supply.

Both knobs very shallow black plastic with bar-grip & .25" shaft socket 
which, too, has a little bar.  Can easily put up digital fotos if anyone 
asks.

Of course affordable (~$7/ea) repros would be GREAT

  Thanks!

   ---tiny history---

Only documentable use was part of a survival kit in B47s since no way 
cud get to E. Europe & back - they'd have to ditch.

But 1000s made after the 1st 50 or so the AF needed & most, probably, went 
to Army special forces, etc.  I say that since many came out thru 
Army MARS in or near Ft. Bragg ~1959-61.   Many call them spy radios 
since there's mild similarity to RS-1 (earlier) and GRC-109 (later and 
really special forces)

My unpopular theory was they were p/o a political pay-back (boondogle)
to Emerson Radio of Waltham MA.  Emerson that later became GTE.

Details here'd be more valuable to me than the 2 damn knob sets!!!
