    Where can I get the black plastic teardrop-shaped Univox knobs like those pictured below?

ID:	1008400 I have seen them on gas powered fryers in chip shops and resturant kitchens.

    If you can't fix it, I probably can.

      They are also used on military equipment. I may have a few, pretty sure they are for 1/4" shaft.

        Are they to match existing knobs?

        Ritel is a manufacturer that makes similar knobs, but theirs are collet fitting with a snap on cap. Used on Trace Elliot stuff. https://www.ritel.ch/ki/en/122/119.h...&kat_aktiv=119

          I can't tell if the color is white (with age) or off white (cream). Looks like white aged yellowish? I also can't see if these are the ones with the bottom skirt. AND they look to be flat on top? Anything I see that resembles those knobs has a slight triangular peak along the pointer line like in Jon's photo.


          EDIT: Ok. I guess those old Univox knobs are actually light gray? I found this image of actual Univox knobs beng sold on Reverb. So more detail on the actual shape. I don't think you're going to find these. Especially not in aged white.

              Yeah. Those are the same as Jon posted above. It's the closest modern equivalent for sure.

                  These are the mil spec ones i have, almost all mil knobs have 2 set screws. I don't know what these were from, maybe a radio or intercom. I don't know how many he is looking for, i have 3, some have cracks.

                    Sorry. I meant "gray". Thanks for everyone's responses. I might just go with cheaper chicken head knobs.

                      FWIW the knobs that Jon posted are readily available and a closer match to the originals (at least). They come in colors but gray is not one of them as far as I could find. The originals simply can't be had. I did see a classified on Reverb for one original knob in light gray (already sold) priced at US $37.
