>  Yes my volume control knob broke in two pieces one day when I bumped it
hard with something.  I didn't think it was hit hard enough to do any
damage so I was surprised at the loss of the knob.  I kept the two pieces
with all good intentions of gluing it back together but as luck would have
it before I found one of those "tuit" devices I lost one of the parts.  I
sort of resigned myself to having a radio with no volume control knob until
one day I decided to search on eBay.  Behold and low I found complete knob
sets for the BX-780XLT.  I promptly order a set and now that I think about
it should have ordered two.  I currently have two BC-780's.  I probably
still have the receipt so if you can't find them on line let me know and
I'll try to dig up the name of  the place I got them from.
