Want to Buy Looking for a KNOB

[kubakoziol]

Hello all

I`m looking for a knob for Vageeswari 10x12 field camera. Just the same like on the photo. It seems to be quite tough challenge...but maybe i am wrong ? I count on you !

thanks
Jakub

If you have a friend who knows how to use a metal lathe, it should be easy to make an adequate replacement - looks like a simple piece to make (turn and knurl)

...yes! This is my final option when all other ways won`t give any result.

-) at a good metal workshop they could replicate that knob

-) any DYI guy into metal could make you some knob that fits

-) at the DIY market you can find a metrical wing-nut (in case that threading is metrical) and a washer. There you might find knobs with female threading too.

Indeed they are - I had to make a couple for a vintage Watson camera.

kubakoziol: Do you know what the thread is ?

Available in metric, in stainless or zinc plated brass for about $3 each. You could buy one of each for lots cheaper than having a shop make one.

You could get one 3-D printed.

Oh wait, this is APUG!

...thank you all. I finally found original knob which fits and looks great.
