Ralley Radio.

I found this today. All seems to be functioning and in good order. If any of you know where I can get the missing button, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you looking for the one on the right, you can use the one on the left.

Seriously, if you find some I need one to.

Try any of the electronics suppliers. They have a variety of buttons for rotary potentiometers.

In Pretoria we have Communica or Philtron or Electronics 123

Thanks for the tip on HAMRAD HR.
It payed off.

They didn't have the originals, but I bought 6 sets of knobs and will fit them to the radio to see how they pan out.
Will post pictures when I get home.

This is my Rally, I have opened it a while ago, cleaned it and re-painted the dial bright orange. This is truly a unique South African item, note that the volume knob is on right, for RHD vehicles. In other words if you drive the shortest distance between your left hand and the volume knob. All other radios (including modern ones) have the volume knob on the left...

I have one like this in my beetle it plays great coupled to some 6x9's in the back. i also have the Rally II , in storage, which added a tone setting behind the left knob.

The new Hilux which is built in Durban also has its volume knob on the right interesting
