Hello all.
Name is James Viars and call is KJ4QPK. Well, hopefully the call will be
N4EGA
once the FCC approves it.
I bought a Ten Tec Jupiter and HATE the main tuning knob. Way too light and
feels like a cheap piece of crap ('cause it is). So I asked my father, who
is a retired machinist, to turn one out of solid aluminum on his lathe. It
is a near exact replacement minus the finger grove on the face. The rubber
band fits over it and feels great. Has a nice heave feel at 4 solid oz and
can spin for hours! (well not really.)
So I talked to Dad and see if he would be interested in making some more. He
said, "yes," as long as there was plenty of interest. I am looking to sell
these to any interested parties and would like to charge about $50 shipped.
This particular dial does not have the finger grove, and is a little rough,
as I asked my father to make it as quickly as possible for me. The bought
ones will be much better.
Oh, and I think that these MIGHT fit the Omni VII and Orion / Orion II as
well.
If you are interested, please email me at james.viars@comcast.net and then
mention it here so everyone has an idea too.
You can look at the pictures here..
