restoring cabinet; where to begin?
#8

I think I lucked out about the missing knob spring metal insert thinggy.
I found another loose knob in my parts bin, I think it came from an 80s answering machine, but had the same diameter shaft.

Ok... had to reshape the insert to fit in my knob, but that wasn't too hard and did fit quite easy

so now all my knobs have inserts! it works like a charm.

altough I should have cleaned it before putting metal parts... guess I'll take it off when I soak the knobs in soapy water...
