    the counter of my beloved Superscope CRS-4803S broke - anybody out there who‘s got replacement for me, knows a source or has a junker ?

    If it's just the button, can you mold one? I was hoping to try doing some of my crusty boxes this winter if time permits. Lot's of missing dials and buttons to replace.

    Mister X ,
    sounds like you are expecting a busy winter . I had the last week off so I was working on a few projects mostly tube radios but I did restore my 1950s Zenith Royal 500.
    Autoreverse they are fairly common side even a old home cassette deck but is it just the button that is broken !
    If I knew what was needed I could use my Fusion 360 and design it and use my classroom 3d printer .

    Sincerely Richard

    yes, richard, it's just the button that broke. i dunno who else got one of those boxes taken apart: it's a pain in the bud. i broke the button myselfe. either i'm missing on some special clue disassembling it, there's almost no way putting that baby together without harming the button. i'll check where i have the rests - do you need pics, or the button-rests ?

    Make friends with someone who owns a 3-D printer. Have them make a new one, it should only take 1-2 hrs.

    Has the button broken and fallen inside the box ? I have had that happened before. Having retrieved the button I glued it back together but with use the repair didn't last very long (months). A modern adhesive like Sugru might work better than the Araldite I used.
