I just bought a Fender Frontman 65R Guitar amp at a garage sale for $20!
It is in good working order but I need a new treble pot and knob as the treble control knob on the first channel is broken off at the stem and the actual knob is missing.

It appears that the instrument input jack #1 has been pushed in to the amp itself and needs to be pulled out thus I also need a new screw-on ring/nut to hold the jack up and in place.

I also need the "matching" Fender channel switching pedal.

How can I obtain these 3 items?
Local Fender Dealer?
On-line?
Thanks,
Bob G

FYI-This amp certainly has that Fender "color" and sound even though it is solid state.
Much more "alive" sounding than my old 1985 Yamaha G100-112-III guitar amp.
This 65R has a Fender green label on the back of the speaker.
Anything special about this speaker I should kow about?

You should be able to get the amp knob at any Guitar Center or other music store, as well as the footswitch. Most music stores should have the pot you need, but bring it in if you don't know EXACTLY which one you need. If you can't find one there, I would try a radio or electronics store. The nut can be easily replaced at any hardware store. P.S. An actual Fender footswitch will be fairly expensive as opposed to a 3rd party. I would look at Live Wire Solutions if you want something a little cheaper.
