I have a Roy Smeck Special Gibson EH-150 that is missing a knob. It's a bakelite rosette knob like all the EH-150's.
How can I find a replacement knob?
Does anyone know a good source of replacement knobs? I understand that Gibson sometimes used radio knobs on it's early guitars, are there any radio knobs that are similar to the one one I want?

Thanks,
Pete Hunt

Originals are few and far between, but they do show up on eBay now and then. You can get really good repros out of England:

And here's a site in the States that sells the repros:
