Looking for the regulator knob or a replacement and may be in need of the Igniter. White ceramic has some cracks in it. Is this still available from Weber. Thanks.

Does anybody out there have any closeup picture of the knob? I can have one made if so.

If it's going to be the same knob and igniter as the new model I can take a pic of mine.

@pancho2017 Thank you. That would be greatly appreciated. If I can see how it looks I can have one made.

@pancho2017 Does the knob come off with ease? Want to see the inside. Thanks

Man I'm not to sure that knob comes off, I pulled on it and it seems pretty solid.

@pancho2017 . Thanks for trying. I thought it may be a tight fit initially back when it was built in 85. This unit looks like it was used once then put away. I am guessing it loosened up over time.

Fired it up. Student is going to build me a 3d printer knob.
