Those fragile plastic flex connectors are impossible to find
as far as I know, but I question whether a flex coupler is even needed there.
The VAR shaft from the knob back to that flex connector?is a piece of 1/8"
fiberglass rod which I imagine takes care of the insulation out to the knob, so
maybe a normal aluminum connector would be just fine. The fiberglass
rod?should take care of any misalignment too.
The last 1/8" shaft connectors I bought were from Veronia
Northern but I'm sure you can get them from others.
Part number 376-0029-00 on this page:
These are those connectors with two set screws, that look like
a piece of thick wall aluminum tubing.

Just picked up a 466 over the weekend. Works fine, but the only
problem
was the Var knob on CH 2 is broken. Opened it up and saw it
was the
coupler that connects the two shafts that's broken. Is there
a source for
the couplers? I might just leave it alone as it looks
like a real pain to
get down to the Ch 2 stuff.
Thanks,
