Nice find, but I think that is the larger version of the [Crank Knob](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/crank-knob). In comparison to the quarter, it looks to be the 1.75" version, which is too large. The 1.25" version is the correct one. Let us know when you receive them because that is a great price! Good hunting!

The company that sells the 1.25" Raytheon knob now charges $65 each! They even advertise that it can be used for the [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack), guess their onto us :lol:

I’ve been searching locally without much luck, the MRC train controller ones are too big now as well they no longer have the set screw to attach to the 1/4" shaft, older MRC unit had the smaller 1.25" knob and setscrew.

Search goes on!

Send him an e-mail. I got parts from him as well and they were great. It may take him awhile, but he ususally gets back to you. This isnt something he does for a living, just on the side.

Believe it or not that is about the going price on a “new” military spec [crank knob](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/crank-knob)…
