Sorry, should have posted pics. Thank you for responding.
Here is an image (the clearest I could get of the part was on ebay...if this is someones photo here I apologize and will remove...just PM me).
Like you said Treadwell, some use an RC gear (62 tooth 32 pitch) but looking at that gear it doesn't match up.
Is this part ever been identified and the info willing to be shared?
The large silver dial next to the male end of a snap button. The dial appears to be from some type of CB or radio.
The shared parts between the X-Wing and the TIE appear to be the silver dial, male end of the snap button, the 3 large rocker buttons, and the same size large, sectional square "buttons".
Thanks.
