Wow! That is awesome. Just spent an hour on the phone trying to get the internet up and I'm glad I did! The windshield wiper switch with knob and the turn signal knob are all I need. The ones I had cleaned up real nice with Murphy's Oil Soap and a brush. I'm sure they will work just fine. I have a good idea what they cost from searching the Samba today and will get ya back in Fred. Thanks a million!

Switch appears to work from a mechanical standpoint, and the way these things are made should work electrically though may need some clean up work on the contacts. It does have the correct screw connectors. The turn signal knob needs some major clean up work and may have to be repainted to look really nice. It has what appears to be a fine hairline crack around it but may be a manufacturing line. The knob on the wiper switch would clean up pretty nice for a used original but might look better painted. If will send me your mailing address I will mail them to you tomorrow. Before I do, do you need any other knobs, like for the light switch or the radio? I have some of both. You can pay me whatever you think they are worth when you see me in Fredericksburg or the next time you see me. The only thing I ask is that if you don't use them please return them. I once gave a guy some parts for his bus and the next time I saw him he was selling them in a swap meet. The last time I saw him he was swinging from a rope under an old oak tree. --- On Mon, 3/29/10, sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Nac show To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, March 29, 2010, 5:41 PM I just happened to have some extra turn signal knobs, and I can fix you up with all the light/wiper knobs you want. I think I have a wiper switch that I took out of a 59 panel van but I am going to have to look. Get back with you in a bit. On the knobs, you are probably going to want to paint them to make them look perfect, but you may be satisfied with a good clean up. --- On Mon, 3/29/10, James Dwan <james_dwan_2000@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: James Dwan <james_dwan_2000@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Nac show To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, March 29, 2010, 4:06 PM That would be awesome. I am looking for the oval turn signal knob on the end of the stick, the windshield wiper switch and knob. All ivory. I was just notified that I am looking for a link pin bearing. Any leads on that would also be greatly appreciated otherwise Jay will have to remove his suspension and take his off the road. --- On Mon, 3/29/10, sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Nac show To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, March 29, 2010, 4:01 PM What kind of dash knobs do you want? I have a supply of originals, some of which would clean up nice, all of which would paint up to look excellent, either white or black. I may even have an old wiper switch, I will look if you want. --- On Mon, 3/29/10, James Dwan <james_dwan_2000@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: James Dwan <james_dwan_2000@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Nac show To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, March 29, 2010, 3:16 PM It's outta my hands. I am done with everything except for tracking down a few dash knobs, a windshield wiper switch and trimming and sculpting the bumper trim inserts.

The weather cooperated and the cars looked great. The bus line was a bit "bare" so we'll have to fill that in for next year. Unfortunately I couldn't stay and had to meander up North to handle things for my Father. Next year, I'll commit to bringing a couple of dubs. ;-) On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 10:34 AM, sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: The East Tx VEE-DUB club website now has two sets of show photos posted and we are working on getting the show results up as well.
