Volume knob - Sangean ATS909X2

[NeedtoKnow2]

I have a new Sangean ATS909X2. I like everything about it except the volume knob. There is really not that much to grab on to. It is a bad choice for good ergonomics. I'm guessing its roundedness is so it won't get damaged as easily in transit. But for everyday use, not good.

Has anyone found and used a good fitting knob that looks like it's original with the radio, but allows for a easier grip and movement?

I have not tried any replacement - but as tight as the volume control is to turn, I agree with you.

Yeah it's pretty stiff. It's a fine radio though.

There must be a difference between the 909X2 and the 909X, because the volume control on my 909X is not all that tight, nor is the knob too small to handle. If the knob were any larger, I think it would look kind of awkward. The tuning dial, on the other hand, could have been designed better.
