Damn fat-fingers!

Well, I've got the VW antenna, and a boss on the fuse block for the radio,
but I've got some aftermarket POS in there right now, jury-rigged in to a
big, square piece of metal, painted to match the dash.  If I'm going to have
no bump, I at least want to be able to listen to NPR while I'm rotting in
traffic.

I guess what I'm really looking for are the knobs, bracket, and faceplate
for said radio, too.  If they'll transfer over, I can get the AM Sapphire
from a local JY.
