volume/tone knobs for rickenbacher, supro/valco/national

Looking for flying saucer tone knob for a Rickenbacher bakelite, as well as what I think is a dakaware knob that is commonly seen on the valco/national guitars of the time. In this case I am looking for a circa 52 dynamic. Any help tracking one or both of these items would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay

Jay, this is probably the closest you'll get to the Rickenbacker knobs:

Here's a US source for the same.
I see the National/Valco knobs
on eBay auctions pretty regularly. Remember to search for National, Supro, and Valco.
Good luck on your search!

Thanks for your reply, Brad. I will keep an eye on Ebay. Thanks as well for links to the Charlie Christian sites. I seem to remember seeing a posting somewhere on this site mentioning a source for the flying saucers, either NOS or modern reproductions...I'll keep looking!
