Old Big Muff replacement knob?

Sign in to disble this ad
I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place, but it is for a part of an effect pedal, and this is the closest place I could think of.

Anyways.
I've got this ollllllld russian big muff thats been repaired about a hundred times, both by me and by the previous owner. He wasn't able to find an identical pot when he replaced the dead volume pot, so there is no knob for it. It's getting to be a rather large PITA to adjust the volume precisely with just the shaft, and I'm sick of dealing with it.

I've taken the knob off the sustain knob in this pic to show the difference between the two pots, the volume shaft is slightly smaller, and is a solid shaft.



I've looked all over allparts and ebay, but all I can find are knobs for 1/4" and 3/8" shafts, some with a setscrew some for knurled shafts.

Does anyone know where I can get a knob (preferably a chickenhead but if not I'll take just about any knob) to fit this 1/8 inch solid shaft pot?

I only have the 2 original knobs for the original 2 pots.
Even if i replaced the pot, I haven't found knobs anywhere that fit small (1/8"-3/16") shafts on effects pedals, I'd have to drill the case out to fit a large pot like you find in an instrument with a 1/4" shaft to use any knobs i've found.

So does anyone know where to find knobs for small shaft pots?
