WANTED 94 E500 radio knob needed

[mistermiata]

Hi Guys,

My on/off, volume control knob has broken (the little clear plastic tabs that hold it on) and it no longer will stay attached. Does anyone have one laying around they can part with?

This is from the stock 94 radio.

Thanks!

Andy

I think you can find them on Ebay!

Just checked eBay Thomas....nothing there!

Pretty sure Becker will sell the knob, but they are MIGHTY proud of it... something close to $50 with shipping, IIRC...?

Last time I checked, which was about 2 years ago, Becker would not sell them. You could send your radio in and get a rebuild, which would get you a new knob, but you could not simply buy a new knob. I got a couple of them on the Internet via eBay, but I am nowhere near where I could look it up for you. Even then, like Dave said, with shipping and all it cost me about 50 bucks each...

I have a few spares from wrecking yards.

Sorry should have stated "ebay.de". There's a few results on the search "mercedes becker drehknopf". Not sure if they'll fit your radio, but you can always email the seller(s) and ask. English is rarely a problem, and I saw atleast one of the sellers shipping worldwide.

Thats what I was hoping. That someone would have a spare from a deceased radio.

Any chance you can send me one? I'm certainly willing to pay for it. The radio works fine, rebuild not needed, just a new knob.

Thanks!

I was able to snag one off a '93 300E during my visit to the local pick 'n pull this past weekend. If you still want/need it, pm me your mailing address.

That "500Eboard" character seemed to be quite slow on the draw, or evidently he didn't have the item in question. What a jerk.

What a jerk.

He's a Newb...what did you expect?

Probably going to turn out to be completely unhinged...

Perhaps one of Vader's "sock puppets"
