h67st Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Has anyone ever seen a knob like this? It's glass with a brass thread insert (5/8" fine thread); the inside has green, yellow, and white stripes. Outside diameter is about 1-7/8". The guy I bought one of my H67's from was also restoring a 1951 GMC pickup, so it's possible this came out of that truck. Maybe a floor lamp part?

Freightrain Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Ya, vintage drawn pull is my guess. Or at least some part of a chandelier? I bought a pair of lighted shift handles from Autozone 14 yrs ago. Only problem is they slip on with small set screw. They make it hard to shift accurately since they kinda "wiggle" a touch. I'd like to use them, but no real way to fasten them securely. I'd like to have something that glows for some "ambiance"......LOL!!

kscarbel2 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I haven't seen one of those in years. Those old Constellation Class dilithium crystals were so small, it's a miracle they could make warp 9. Always keep your distance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52860-what-is-this-knob/#findComment-394664 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be a Star Trek reference...I only remember a little about the original show and never watched the sequels so I'm at a loss.
