Hi Morzh,

Yes I was thinking about using some rubber grommets sold by local hardwares stores. But even in case I find a "home made" solution for the chassis supports I remain with the problem of the knobs. The knobs and my radio as a whole are in fairly good shape but the tuning knob (one that uses a vernier) show signals of microfractures due to age and the tropical climate we have here in Rio de Janeiro (extremely hot summers).

Thank you so much for your suggestion.
