I am refurbing a 238 tuner, and the red pulley/pointer is missing.  Does anyone 
have a source (3D print) for a new one?  (this is not a simple red pointer like 
on the Omni/Triton that hangs on the cord  ? it has a pulley on it).  I have 
sourced a small pulley, but need the pointer itself.

Short of that, does anyone know where Ten Tec sourced the multi-turn knob for 
the newer 238B Inductor? I could skip the pointer and use the knob from the 
238B tuner.
