Is there a market for the red emergency flasher pull knobs from our columns? I've never seen any posted.

I have always considered it too difficult to remove the red portion. I have built up a collection of the chrome knobs (approx 10 to 12) that interchange with the newer style used on the Van tilts. Whenever I sell one I furnish the chrome knob.

In my opinion there are enough "original red" switches to fill the needs of the TRUE restoration crowd. NOS switches are available on E-bay. They just don't appeal to me but obviously there is a market.

Just my 2 cents worth - Bob

Thanks guys - I was wondering if it was a waste of time to pull the old ones out - it is a pain.
