The front of the set was against the side of the bed. There was two pillows in there to protect the glass. The pillows stood a little taller than the side of the truck. If the knob worked loose, vibrated, wiggled, jiggled, shimmied, or simply jumped off the set, it would have landed on the top edge of the pillow, and then right down the side of the truck onto the road. No matter. I should have taken it off being it was above the side of the truck.
I did stop at a little store to get a drink. I cant imagine anyone would swipe it. I wouldn't think a channel selector would be a high theft item. I guess it's always possible that some punk saw it and thought it would make some cool bling to hang around his neck. He's certainly have something that none of his other homies had.
But, I think it came off going down the road. Probably got smashed by a Peterbuilt.
I found that I'm short a few caps, so will have to put in an order. I can get started on it and hopefully far enough that brings the raster back online.
I'm just glad the CRT is good. The tracking is almost dead-on with each gun.
Below is the knob that it's "supposed" to have... just in case someone finds one in their knob drawer.
