Subject line says it all. Any inexpensive source? I need a half
dozen for the knobs like those below the CRT.

Thanks, but at $7-8 each I think I try elsewhere or wait for a
cheap parts unit.


make a mold of a good cap and cast your own...you can buy mold making
material like dentists use at good hobby stores.
FYI,that inexpensive gel stuff for making casts of handprints is only
good for one-shots.

I wonder if you could use the 2467 service manual to find the
plastics company TEK bought the caps from; maybe they can run off a
batch for you. I recall that TEK spun off their plastics
manufacturing unit,and then bought from them.
there should be a list of manufacturers and the 5 digit code in the
front of the parts list section,and the mech.parts list should show
the mfg. code for each part.


HeHeHe.... Sounds like buying a parts unit would be a whole lot
cheaper. I figured you might have a stash of them somewhere. ;-)


When they closed our Orlando TEK field office,I could have come away with a
TON of stuff,lots of manuals,but I didn't have anywhere to put it all.
I could have made a lot of money just selling those used manuals.
all the test fixtures and custom board extenders I made....ARRRGH.
Gone,trashed. Nobody else would have known what to do with them. :-(

bench stock parts,they were all shipped to the DC office,melded in with
their stock.
