Cessna 120-140 Association

Title says it all....looking to move back to original throttle style knob. Appreciate leads/advice

There's an interesting Ebay post..."3pcs VINTAGE AIRCRAFT CESSNA THROTTLE CABLE with WOODEN KNOB BOX#3S". I don't believe any of the 3 are "our" knobs, but you might take a look just in case. (Ebay Item # 402307380792) Mac

I'd speculate if they are Cessna they might have come from a Airmaster

Yep -- that'd be my guess. ...still, an Airmaster knob would look better on our planes than a new-fangled throttle knob . Keep looking -- there's one out there somewhere.

I have a cable with knob from a140A. Will go out to the airport tomorrow and check and take a picture.

Jon, I sent you a PM regarding the cable and knob.

Hi Jon,
Wel I tried to send a pm, bt anyway, here it is:
I do have a cable and knob. However, since my IA made me replace it with a new one, and at the time, I wanted to use the knob, so I had to use a 1/4-24UNC helicoil for the new one. I have sold the plane and kept the knob and old cable. I now need to replace the helicoil with a 1/4-20 helicoil to fit the old cable. If you are till interested, let me know.

Larry I’m sorry getting back to you late..... I am interested. Sending a pm....

Jon

I have one you can have with shipping but the attachment point at the hold off is broken.
Its a large red knob type from a C140A.
Will send a picture of interested.
