I would like to replace the fuse holders and the RCA jacks on my 700b. I'm going to order some knobs from Antique Radio Supply and they also have fuse holders and jacks but I'm not sure if they would work. I'm trying not to pay shipping to two places but if I have to I will. Any thoughts?

I got the rca Jacks from.Mouser. Got the fuse holders from Ed. Use the Switch craft number I posted above in your Mouser search.

The fuse holders are pretty robust and were actually of good quality. Do they NEED to be replaced? Even the old ones clean up nice with a little elbow grease and some chemicals (for the fuseholders, not you). Get all the old solder and flux off and they are as good as new.

It's more a case of the knobs being worn out. There's not much there to get a good grip on. Can you buy just the knobs? This sure sounds like the making of a bad joke!
