Vintage Westinghouse Roaster Temp Knob (Glass Knob) Model RO-91

[roaster]

I am looking for a replacement knob for a Vintage Westinghouse Roaster Temp Knob model: RO-91. The knob is made of glass. The one I had broke at the shaft. It has been a great roaster. Hoping someone can steer to someone who is selling one or a company that carries vintage parts. Thank You.

Have you tried haunting eBay for Roaster Oven parts?

There's also a web site that's dedicated to Westinghouse roasters if I'm not mistaken.  It should be easy to find.  I think it may have some kind of "jitterbug" name associated with it.

I know what Ralph is talking about - the website is www.jitterbuzz.com.

That's it Tom!

 

Westinghouse roasters used to be front and center on the home page, but not anymore.  I had to dig for it, but found the roaster page:

_Westinghouse Roasters_

To all who have responded to my post

Thank you for all your response in providing links to a possible site...unfortunately some of the links do not work any longer. But I did find jitterbuzz helpful.... a lot of information regarding the history of this roaster. They don't make appliances like these any longer. I will have to continue the search. Ebay has parts from time to time.

Yeah, I didn't bother to investigate jitterbuzz much, but I didn't see anything about repairs or parts or an associated classifieds section. 

 

I have a feeling you'll need to wait for an old beater Westinghouse roaster to show up cheap at a thrift store, garage/estate sale or on line and harvest your part off of it.
