Title: frigiking knobs
Post by: cal pagoda on July 13, 2007, 19:04:35

I am looking for control knobs for a 1971 280sl frigiking A/C unit.  I can't find these anywhere.  Any ideas?

When you say "anywhere", how many of our parts suppliers did you try?  To find our list of suppliers:
- right click on the blue "Pagoda SL Group" logo in top left corner and open in new window (so you can keep reading this).
- in the menu on the left, click on Databases
- in the list of databases, click on Parts and Service Suppliers

Bookmark that page for easy future reference.

Also, you never know what other members here might "have in stock".

Someone here had photos where they used the knobs off an old radio. They matched the rest of the car, looked good. Those knobs are easy to get if you have the larger style.

Thanks for the information.

I would gladly buy the knobs ( i have the large ones) if any one has them in stock or knows where I can by them.  If worse comes to worse I will have to go the route of using knobs from an old radio or something else.
