	Just checked; my radio from my 61 Lark (we bought it new, with the radio in it) has black knobs. It's not a push button, has a nice Studebaker script on the glass. It has a bezel similar to the one in the ebay ad. My 62 Hawk has a radio like the one in the ebay ad. Jeez, when I went out to the shop to check, I went through 2 inches of fresh fallen snow!!!!!

	Please excuse this Mazda query not being Miata-specific, but I've come up dry with both Google's web search and its Usenet archive; this is the only Mazda group I could find, and searching my server's retention of it, I see nothing relevant here, either. Needed: a knob for a '03 Tribute six-CD changer. The dealership says that they don't do knobs and want to sell a whole radio. You betcha they do. Does anybody have a lead on a source for such a five-cent Mazda item that will sell for five dollars, to avoid the need of a five-hundred-dollar radio? -- Blinky http://blinkynet.net

Can I have the other one...the unbroken one? ;) He had broken his, but the broken-out piece was still hanging on by a tiny bit of plastic. He was going to glue it. Then I dropped it, and the piece separated and we never found it.

Good luck searching but I think you'll have better luck finding the missing piece than finding a matching knob... check the wrecking yards, ebay, etc. and if you come up empty, go rent a Hummer and start running Tributes off the road, then check the wrecking yards again.... <gd&r>

They could even charge $25.00 or so if they just NEED to rip us off, but please don't make us buy an entire radio for that small plastic part. Of course, overcharging for parts, making you do things like buy entire radios to fix a broken knob, and overcharging for labor is how they survive, so it's all part of the game. Pat

I found a wallet once, with $225 in it. I tried to track down the kid who it belonged to, and when I couldn't I turned it in to the police. 30 or 60 days later (can't remember which) it wasn't claimed, so they gave it to me.

Or Elvis? After those idiots paid several thousand for a "haunted" painting, it has been tempting to try. My family has an old Victorian-style couch and I think that I can see an image of a woman wearing clothing from that time period sitting on it once every so often. One of my favorites so far was the guy selling his air guitar. He listed the concerts that it had been played at, going back to many rock concerts in the early 70's. The condition was listed as excellent and there was no shipping charge. He got almost $20.00. Pat
