Default 69 radio knobs

Hi all,
I’m looking for a set on radio knobs for a 69 GTO.
They don’t need to be show quality. Just not peeling.
The radio doesn’t work anyway and I’m just trying to fill the hole and have it light up with the “survivor “ look.
There’s a Pioneer in the glove box.

Let me know what you have.

Ames sells these. I have a fake radio in mine just to fill the hole. Knobs w small bolts through the back and a piece of clear plastic w the station number decal.

Did you make your own fake radio or where did you get it?

I used a small bolt and washer to hold the knobs and bezels on. I took a plastic CD cover, stuck the numbers sticker to it and attached push buttons w silicone caulk. It looked a lot better 15yrs ago.

I did a fake radio for looks. Removed the faceplate, PhotoShopped a FM dial, added a LED light, Ames knobs, and screwed it all together so if someone tries to push a button it won't break. I have a marine radio under the passenger seat with the control head in the console.
