Well I have some bad news, the new tuning dial I had bought and paid $35 for was cut and drilled completely off from where it should of been, so now I'm back to square one as far as having no tuning dial to use for my radio except for the damaged one. 

Does anyone on here have a spare 116B tuning dial I can have (I currently have overspent my limit for the month for parts so I can't buy anything else, so buying another dial is out of the question).
And hopefully its one that isn't cut and drilled wonkey like the one I had just bought.
