"Whew! Looks like a lot of work."

They are labor intensive but an excellent project to keep ones skill sharp.

Currently machining the knurled metal knobs.
They are quite labor intensive.
In case you are unable to find the original knobs I have attached a copy of the machinist drawing for mine.
You can take the drawing to your local machine shop or send it to one of the online custom knob makers.
Given their labor intensive requirements I would expect them to charge you between 25 to 50.oo for machining each knob. vertigo

Finished machining and knurling ends of knobs.
Cut tapers and threaded center holes on two of the knobs.
These two knobs are complete.
Installed these two knobs in holes and used washers and screws from backside to finish their installation.

Still need to machine taper and center hole thread the remaining six knobs.
