Replacement knobs for Montgomery Ward tube amp

[glebert]

Working on this old oddball amp. Got it mostly working, so now hunting for a couple replacement knobs. I am OK with replacing all of them, but not looking to pay crazy $$$ for a set. They are big (30mm diameter) push on type. I've thought about using light dimmer knobs if I can't find anything else. I think there are some old Realistic audio components that used something very similar to the originals.

Thanks in advance.

Perfect time to cruise the surplus dealers.

For this situation I have been wondering if 3D printing could be the way forward? Near me a little 3d place has started up making all sorts of pretty light shades and deco homewares the quality and detail is way better than I would have thought.

I wish I had "dealers" (plural), the one that is left near me doesn't have anything that would really work. Thanks for the allelectronics link, there are some options there that could work. I am also going to watch the vintage electronics category on shopgoodwill.com.

The Collins knob looks pretty similar but at $15 I think not.

Another option would be to find 2 of something close (or not), use them for volumes, put the 4 matching on the treble & bass.

That's a good idea. I was thinking of using different ones for the two channels otherwise (3+3)

This one looks like a good option, and I could get a full set for about $40 shipped.
