Hi all,
Looking for a nice pair of early (set screw) pair with silver centers.
Anyone?

Search eBay for seller vintageblau, he seems to have everything Blaupunkt. There is no set screw on these knobs however.

Blaupunkt knobs came in set screw variety? I thought they were press on and Becker's had set screws?

Actually, all Blaupunkt knobs were set screw retained prior to 1968. Finding them is more a function of the rarity of cars over here prior to 1968.

Are you referring to the skinny early 2002 and NK style knobs? They had set screws. I have owned many 69 and later Blaupunkts and they don't have set screws, but the knobs match our coupes.

To be honest Chris, I think the ones you're referring to had brushed aluminum centers and were commonly used on 912's with the brushed aluminum dashes. Were they also used on pre 68 NK's?

They had a small button in center and a skinny knob in general, these were used in early 2002 and NK. My 69 NK has the later large knobs.

You are correct Chris, to no surprise. In any event, that's what I'm looking for.
Thanks!!

Andrew, those knobs are for earlier cars and wouldn't look right on your 02 or coupe. Later knobs are easier to find.

There's an old radio on German EBay (169€) that has them. If the auction ends and it doesn't sell I'll try to buy just the knobs.
Wish me luck!
