[Stall-U-Rated]

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here it goes..

  Sometimes we have no choice but to replace a volume/power switch or other control on these old radios. Ive noticed the newer replacements dont have the same shaft length as the originals they replace..

Ones ive seen (shaft extenders) on the bay are way too long , or not the correct diameter..

Is there a source im missing out on, or is there a machinist in the house (Steve Davis?) that could turn out a few slide on shaft extenders with a setscrew that could be used on 1/4 inch shafts to compensate for the loss?

In my current situation, my replacement control is  1 3/8" length, where the original was at least 2"

Just wondering if theres a fix  in a situation as mine?

Thanks..

Steve
