Default Ford Electrical Parts

The photo shows the remains of a 1932 Radio Control key with the black plastic sleeve missing,which I had to dismantle to remove from the Header control because it was seized up in it.
These keys were originally sold because people used to remove them and lose them, for the 1932 -1933 Ford car radios, at Ford Dealers and I am wondering if anybody with Ford Parts have come across any.

Good Luck! may try having another knob and sleeve machined in plastic and glue them in place on the metal key. Or shrink tube over the metal shaft and glue the knob back together.

At one time I had 7 or 8 originals and even made a small batch of 20 of them. The originals all came from the Estate of Roger Shimmel.. Also Made the 32 Radio control knob as it is comonly cracked I have since sold it all including the molds for the knobs. I don't remember who I sold them to but someone has the molds and a small pile of knobs

Since you still have the remains of the knob, why not ask around if someone with a 3D printer can make some for you?
