1978 RCA VCT200 needs a knob
I originally came across this vcr on craigslist along with a Zenith b&w set for $125. The ended up in a landfill because they didn't sell and the owner said they were in the way. They were good enough to direct me to where they went along with a phone number. I was able to get them but in the process, the one knob on the front was lost and the yoke on the TV was slid back and rotated. I fixed the TV but now I'm curious as to where I would get a knob for the VCR.

Does the other set of knobs fit the side that's missing? If so, post a pic of the two knobs (by themselves, off the VCR) and I'll check my knob box. I've got dozens of similar looking knobs and may have the two.
Cheers,

It looks like your TV might be missing a knob too?

Nope, they're all there. Even the little knobs on the side fore brightness, etc. Thar black area on the large upper knob lights up and displays channel number. Thought you could see it in this pic but the camera didn't get it.

OK, it looked like there was a knob missing in that area. Although even your second picture yu posted didn't show the channel display very well...

That's why I mentioned the crappy phone camera didn't even capture it. I'll see if I can get better.

Finally got those pics. As far as I can tell, they should be the same. Two pieces, one knob sits inside the other and they both fit on their own shaft.

They look like your basic TV channel selector knobs from the same time period. If I remember right I had a late 1970s Panasonic that had a knob tuner on it like this and the UHF channel knob was in 3 pieces, one piece was for the channel indicator, one was for the fine tuning knob, and one was for the channel selector knob, and then the VHF was only two knobs where the one knob was the fine tuning knob and the other knob was for the channel selector and also had the channel indicator built into it.

Well, your profile shows you were on here on 1-7-16. Can't reach you here or through p.M. someone asks me to do something and then I do it and then nothing? I don't get it. I'll just put the one I have back on and forget it. It's not like I'm going to use it anyway. It needs a couple things done and I don't have the time to mess with it right now.
