Just finished a resto of one of these and the one last thing I need is a knob bright for the tuner knob. Been looking around online and it seems these are scarce. If anybody has any secrets on how to get a hold of some of these please let me know. Thanks!!

I was able to get brights for my Zenith radio on eBay. I had to look for them for several months before they showed up. There is a person that sells them but I no longer have the info on them. I will post when I find him.

Tom Johnson talked about making new brights on FB that he would be selling. He is also the gentleman who builds the FILT-R-PAK for TO's you see on Ebay. I guess he's selling them now as Dwight showed us. I mentioned the problem of getting the old brights off the knob. This is his resonance.

If a #11 EXacto blade can't be inserted under an edge without damaging the knob, you can use a small drill bit (1/16" or so) and drill from the back through the control shaft hole to yield a hole at or near the center of the old bright to get a sharp instrument into. Bill Crump used to recommend a small rotary saw blade on a Dremel tool to cut an "X" at the peak of the old one so as to get a tool underneath and lift it off. Either, or a combination of the two should work without damage to the knob. Going back on, the new one is secured with a small dot of white craft glue, and using too much may result in glue oozing out around the edges. If so, use a toothpick while the glue is wet to remove excess and follow with a paper tower and Windex (or similar) to remove smears, etc.

Sounds like it might work. I'm looking into another way. We'll see what happens.
