CZ5 Mode selector knob

[kevinnc]

Does anyone know where I can get a knob for it. Mine is cracked and slips when changing modes. First Texas said they don't sell that part, and I would have to send it in to be fixed???? Just for a knob!

If you have an older model the knobs are not available, Fisher should be able to sell you a knob or perhaps a complete set for newer models...call again you must have been talking to an uniformed employee for lack of more applicable description...ridiculous to send in unit for a knob????

Hello,

The part number you are requesting is not available from us for sale.

You will need to send your unit in and have it replaced by our technicians.

Thank you,

That's the Email I got.

I replied. How much would that cost? I bought it new with a Life time warranty. No response yet.

The CZ3d looks to have the same knobs.

Dan-Pa, I remember you from posting a lot years ago. I got away for a while and am now getting back into a hobby I love.

or take the knob off and hit Home Depot or an electronics parts house (even try Dave Johnson @ Fisher)
.....you night not match knob exactly, but shaft sizes are std; and you just need one with a side set-screw.

I will try and find a third party knob. I asked them how much would it cost to send it in to be fixed, just to see what they said. It was suppose to have a lifetime warranty and they wouldn't give me a price estimate at all.

I pulled on the knob and the plastic knob came off a metal one. Just a cover. I can glue it back. The metal knob don't slip. lol

 

[Dan-Pa.]

Nooooooo.....held on by a tiny allen screw...not glued on....

The metal knob under the plastic cover is held on by a allen screw. The plastic is what cracked and is slipping. I pulled on it and the plastic part came off. I can use the metal knob fine, but can't see where it is set.
I'll take pics of it.
