Where to buy brass volume knob

Sign in to disble this ad
I picked up an '81 Ibanez Blazer from the original owner who hauled it from the UK to the US years ago. The pick guard was broken at the input jack (common) and it was missing one of the brass knobs. I'm having no luck finding anyone local, nor online, who carries brass knobs at all.

I realize I could just buy a pair of chrome knobs and stick them on there but I was hoping to find a (hopefully vintaged) brass one, just because I think I should be able to.

I found some on e-bay for Marshall Amplifiers. I looked for several hours on the WWW before I found those. Seems nobody gets the vintage brass thing.

Keep looking, they'll pop up on the 'Bay.

I had ONE leftover brass knob, but it doesn't have that flat of a top.

(look a bout halfway down, the other two on my Walnut P bass:
