I finally found one!
This person is selling the whole thing or parting it out. I wish I were closer but there is nooooo way I could do a 3 hour drive each way. I need those knobs, the phonograph, the wooden door pulls and really the whole thing so I know how to wire mine,
I offered mine for sale locally and could not get $200 so there is no way I would pay $125 plus shipping for the parts.
Just surprised I found one..
