Hi Tim,

The Big Red Raytheon X type channel selector shown in this photo.

Sorry, can't help with that one. Good luck.

That Raytheon channel selector is hard to find. I have two Raytheons that use that knob; a tabletop and a portable. Both came without the channel knob. It took me two years to find one knob on eBay. The good news is the tabletop came both as a kit and also as a factory finished set. The vintage photos of the Ratheon kit show a generic channel knob while the factory model photos show the X type channel selector. I have thought about asking "Old Time Relications" if they can make a repro of the channel knob. I bought 5 Hallicrafters repro knobs from them years ago for $40. I'm not sure if they can match the red plastic either?

I also think some of the knobs came with a gold insert as in your picture or without as in mine. I also have a Coranado which lookslike a Raytheon Clone? It may take the same knob?

The one I need has a gold insert but I'd take one without.

I have the 7" Raytheon and it uses the same basic knob but no gold and no stub shaft sticking out the back, it's flush, the one I want has about a 1" stub, it's for a 10DX24 Porthole.

I had thought about trying to cast one from the knob I have but it'd be a project in itself.

I had a bid on this lot of knobs, but was outbid.

The one knob in the first picture that was not in a plastic wrap looks like the one I need for my Zenith B2225R.

The winner has the suppressed user id of "3***a".

If you got this set and don't need the knobs for the B2225R, let me know.
