Forum rules


The following requirements must be followed when advertising personal antique radio / TV / audio / phono items (such as discussed in the forums here) for sale in the classifieds forum::

  • Titles must START with : FS (for sale) or WTB (want to buy) or Trade or Free at the beginning of the title..
  • FS posts must have an "asking" price and offers may be sent by PM. Are you parting something out? ... price each major part (not things like screws and nuts)
  • There must be a location somewhere in the ad or the members profile (City & State or Zip Code are the minimum requirement).
  • Ads are limited to two per day, and may not be bumped sooner than 7 days after the last post to the thread.
  • No outside sales links are allowed other than to pictures of actual items being sold. No links allowed to eBay, Craigslist etc.
  • This is NOT a discussion forum. If you're not buying or supplying or suggesting a relevant solution, don't post - send a Private Message. Comments on pricing will be deleted.
  • First to post to an item for sale stating "I WILL TAKE IT" it is first in line. Subsequent claims will be followed in the order they are posted. Claims to "Take it" can be conditional on unknowns such as shipping costs.
  • Any "PM sent" posts without posting a reason for the PM will be deleted as they are meaningless to anyone else reading the thread.
  • Once a deal is made, edit the title to say so and the thread will be locked

If your thread or post disappears - read the rules again - no warnings or explanations will be given when threads or posts are deleted.

I need either 1 3/16" or 1 1/4" OD brass rod.
Generally this is alloy C 360 / mill finish. Total length desired is 1 3/4" to 2".

I can't find it by the inch and don't want to INVEST in a 12" length.

A local crafts store or hobby store should have what you need.

Local hobby shops won't carry 1.25 inch diameter rod.


Try On-line Metals. They sell by the inch, but it's not cheap.

What you want is about $5 an inch plus shipping.

I have some 1.75" in 360, or some 1.25" in AlBr if that will help.

If you have a metal machining shop in town, you might drop by and see if they have this among their "drops." These are short pieces that usually have little value and end up being sold for scrap prices.

Thanks everyone.
I used Alan's suggestion since they sell by the inch.

Rich, I tried the machine shop first and they have stainless, cold rolled and aluminum.They also have many forms of space age plastics. No brass however.
