Not complaining, just subscribing. Must've been that restoration of an old oil dispenser and a car jack I watched. *Edit* The first one was this one: ua-cam.com/video/R5r8_79x3Z0/v-deo.html and the second one was on the same channel.
The spring-loaded knob for D-shaft controls was a popular design in the 30s and 40s. Just about every manufacturer used them, especially RCA. The design was for Bakelite because of its unique properties. It would not do well with setscrews unless the threaded element was a metal insert. It just stripped too easily. But it was quite stable otherwise. Hence the design. It would hold well. Manufacturers had to change designs after the switch to injection-molded plastic. If put under the stress of a spring for long terms they tended to crack or split. So they had to be re-designed. Some used sheet steel inserts that contained their own spring pressure. Setscrews made a comeback (they had been used on the wooden knobs of the 20s with threaded inserts.) Thanks for showing an easy way to copy these things. Many don't know this can be done.
I was that smug ass who thought he could tell which one it was and i was so wrong. That really freaking cool, i need to learn how to cast thing, that seem fun.
My father in law made several knobs for antique radios. This is one good method. He also built his own injection molding machine. He machined his own does, and made an injector out of a screw type hydraulic ram from an air stair from an aircraft wrecking yard. He also cast knobs like these. Cool stuff!
Excellent video! ive been tired of the same old maker videos, with the music and the editing always the similar. You get a nice a up close feel, with no music, and you are genuine with your commentary! Love it! Also I too am a fan of old electronics and especially knobs
Yeah, the restoration videos are the worst. No narration, fast forward, lots of rapid hammer tapping and wire brushing.. Only thing worse is the robot narrator videos.
Wow! I have often wanted to replace a knob on a piece of equipment, but having worked in an injection molding factory, I know how they were made, and I never though that this could be done without the proper tooling. I am really impressed! Thanks for a great video.
My parents had a small business selling CBS tubes way back when. When we finally closed it down and sold off all the stuff, a friend bought all of the vacuum tubes and resistors for his hobby. I still remember the little boxes the tubes came in with the CBS logo on it....
Those Philcos are some over-engineered knobs! I cast and mold lots of details and knobs for vintage and antique sewing machines and furniture. I love Smooth-On products and their customer/technical service is unsurpassed.
In some projects, small fiberglass strands or glass microbeads are mixed into the casting resin matrix. This fiberglass reinforcement produces a stronger and more durable product that is less prone to cracking.
That's Brilliant! I want to change everything with a knob on it to these, volume in the car, diming switches, and so on. I think you're on to something there Wesley!
Quite possibly the greatest UA-cam video I've ever watched. I stopped to think for a few seconds to make sure that statement was correct but, yeah, greatest UA-cam video I've ever seen. And I've seen a bunch.
Ah! The Philco Tube Tester! Star of every Rexall Drug Store! Sans cabinet of course. The cabinet it sat in had two trays on either side and a bin attached on the side for the bad tubes. Top shelves were for tubes, bottom shelves were for the old batteries, dry cells on top then wet cells on the bottom. Some had a battery tester & charger, and it always smelled of bad batteries which is probably why eventually that got moved outside someplace. The bad tubes would be collected and set off for rebuilding which is doable for every tube made back then. I remember sitting and waiting at the soda fountain enjoying chocolate float with Grandpa waiting for a battery to charge, finding the charge didn't take, Grandpa traded it in for cheap. Oh yeah, old wet cell batteries were also fully rebuildable. So, yeah, Radios back then were 100% user friendly and rebuildable by the owner, not like today where you have to buy the radio, have a subscription, and after a few months an update is issued and you have to buy a new radio and get a new subscription.
I built myself a 3D printer specifically to make replacements for unobtainable antique radio knobs, but I'll happily print anything that isn't a weapon. Keep our technological history alive! Next up: I am going to 3D print the parts to make a 3D scanner so I can "photocopy" a knob to make a replacement. I love and applaud what you are doing here. If you can figure out where to put a couple of vacuum tubes on a 3D printer, I'm into doing that. It will give a whole new meaning to the phrase "My printer is warming up". :)
So glad to have found you. I just bought a dresser that is missing a tassel style knob. I'm not sure how to separate the tassel from the base yet to cast it, but your video has inspired me to seek out all vintage knobs to cast them. Thank you so much.
This looks like a perfect job for 3d printing. Not the knobs themselves - those copies are far better than that - but for the knob fixing. Drill out a larger hole in the knob (say 10mm rather than 6mm) and print a small cylindrical part that has whichever complex shaped hole you want. Glue B into A.
@@shanerussell7335 ehm ... and how do you get the post out again once the resin has cured :) It won't be like the flexible liquid silicone mold and will totally be 'glued' in there.
@@xConundrumx True. A really complicated post would be stuck, but a simple D-shape would come out easily. Put a thin coat of vaseline on it before pouring the epoxy.
@@shanerussell7335 ah that's a really clever idea! Thanks, should make a note of that. Mind you with the little ridges from the layering you probably want to give it a good sanding too I would guess. So the surface is smooth that is.
Very nice. It's hard to believe how nice these parts come out. I was going to comment that you should 3d print the knobs but this technique is much better.
I cast model car parts regularly. I use Smooth-On products, a vacuum chamber to degas the silicone for a few minutes before pouring it into the mold, and a pressure pot to cast the parts under pressure. I use two-part molds, and cast in opaque and clear resin and flexible rubber for the tires. You got great results for a one piece mold without pressure casting, hard to do that without air bubbles.
Thank you for showing this. I know now how to clone knobs for my vintage RCA radio and record player. You mentioned you had a "collection.' Please take a couple of minutes and show them. I would love to see what you have done and what you have. Again, Thanks.
I've got an RCA tombstone radio. It was missing the guts and sitting at the curb in great shape. I snatched it up and put my modern stereo in it. It's so cool.
Wow! This was really well done! Both the knobs themselves, but also the How-to video! Just enough information delivered in a playful manner. It is clear you love what you do!
Well, thanks for this video. Now I have a new channel subscribed and a host of new videos to watch. Oh, and a hankering to silicon mold anything and everything in my house.
Interesting video, thanks. My brother in law does pretty much the same thing, making knobs and parts. Never watched him work on his projects even though he has been doing it for over 30 years. Again. Thanks for posting this video.
Your video showed up in the recommended videos after Adam Savage's armor build. Frikkin' amazing!! I had no idea makers took things to this level. Liked and subscribed. Cheers from B.C.
Subscribed! I would LOVE to see your process for drilling and installing regular set-screws into the other knobs.. I've been looking for that DIY knob making information for ages, to no avail. This was a great watch - cheers!
I started out looking for 3D printed knobs but this video seems the best way. It uses a common sense approach and doesn't make it harder than it has to be. I am restoring a 40's-50'ish stove and one of the knobs was cracked in half and the rest of them have stress cracks and won't take very much use before they crack too. The knobs are odd shaped, thin oval with a point on the side at the off spot. I will try this. I loved HR Pufnstuf and Sigmund. I had a redheaded, witchnosed neighbor whose nickname was Witchiepoo, as an adult in the 90's. Thanks for everything.
Positive crazy hobby and very good way to resolve missing knob issue... man... you`re craziest hobbyst that I`ve ever seen... peace man, do what you love
Brilliant reproduction. Love the tester board too. In addition I like that you are nuts, funny, and you are willing to share knobs with your Brothers. You have earned my subscription fella.
The 60's were even better, make a wonder what it was like the previous century, before electricity, cars, airplanes, radio, tv or computers and children had to rely upon their own imagination's. Our medicine and ease of life is no doubt better today, butch think the quality of life, daily living, no processed foods, and the belonging to a community where as a child everyone knew who you were, and who your parents were! We've gained tremendous things, but also lost and given up the same
LOL I LOVED this video. You had me laughing out loud the whole way through. I've been thinking about casting some knobs so I don't have to make wooden ones all the time and after seeing your spectacular results I'm off to buy some resin! Good job sir!
Superb result! Who would know? I love these panels. I was working, re wiring an old substation control relay room. It was full of relay panels, boxes, monitors etc all from the 50's and 60's. I mentioned that I would love cover one wall of my house with them, everybody just looked at me as if i was crazy, 'why?' they asked. Because it would look great! Im glad im not alone!
You are my new best friend. I have a vintage Grand Stove I've redone and didn't know how to do knobs. I 💘 you man. I'm off to by supplies tomorrow. Even more excited about the idea of doing different colors.
I'm very impressed. As someone who restores old gear like this, I know just how hard it can be to find replacement knobs that are identical. This process doesn't look too hard, and the results are amazing.
Very surprised by the match. Never thought epoxy would look like an old phenolic knob. I've been trying to justify the materials and time to learn silicone mold casting; think I just found it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and creativity.
I am a huge hands on guy and vintage liver and probably 8 or 9 years ago now I bought a knapp-Monarch "Redi oven". That is missing a knob, I have been looking for a vintage knob for ever never finding one that looks right for a reasonable price. You just gave me an idea and earned yourself a subscriber. Excellent job If you want to sell me a knob I am interested in purchasing it, just leave the hole blank for mine is a round shaft.
I am almost willing to bet this is actually how they were made.. from a mold. Even so, amazing how well they look exactly the same. I just learned something.
@@garygerard4290 I do not know if I told you about the 1928 Morgan/MG special that I am building. It is a wooden frame with minimal steel and it is built just like a 20's airplane with no propeller and no wings. here is the original ....ua-cam.com/video/W9QMa7AUD-4/v-deo.htmlsi=4iaIqa9qrYwkoIbB
Excellent informative video with a great sense of humour too. Top bloke!
Wesley Treat, sir, you are exactly what makes UA-cam so damn cool.
It’s rare to see a man who likes working with knobs that much!
I absolutely love how the silicon picks up the tiny surface scratches and makes the new part look just as worn as the originals - a matching set!

What he said^^^^^
Yeah, the restoration videos are the worst. No narration, fast forward, lots of rapid hammer tapping and wire brushing.. Only thing worse is the robot narrator videos.
Facts. 💯
Every knob in kitchen appliances I've seen uses the same flat spring that the antique tube tester has.
That's an amazing comeback!
I usually never get impressed, but I am very impressed, nice work Wesley
that turned out way better than i would have expected.
This was so cool! I can't believe how exact it looked.
