A funny thing is that if you had the four door it would not have gone in!

For Acoustic 370 knobs, these might come under the heading of "close enough": Link Removed
I think those are the ones I was thinking of, though I thought the manufacturer was ALCO, hadn't had a chance to look the parts number up yet.
It might be handy to assemble a google doc or something of parts/suppliers for Acoustic, or at least the closest current production replacements.
BTW, did a little digging on Newark and found what looks to be a fairly close match to the 360 knobs:

The measurements of the knob on Newark is 28mm x 14mm (w & d), and best I can tell on the 360 knobs it's 26mm x 17mm. Not exact, but fairly close, at least the closest I've found.

The original knobs are 31.750mm wide, so these are a bit too small, but if you were to replace the full set, they'd look great. When you make your list, the foot cups are almost exactly the same as a closet finger pull that you can pick up at any home depot.
I'm going to take one of my 360 knobs to a local 3D printer and see if they can make copies.
In that case they also make one in 32mm x 14mm:

That said, I'm measuring the knobs on my 360 right now at between 1 1/32" and 1 1/16", which comes out above 26mm and below 27mm. I don't believe the full set has been replaced, as they all appear old and match one I pulled from a 150.
Alright, my conversion to mm wasn't too far off! I really just need to get metric tape measures. So, yeah, looks like 28mm x 14 mm is the closest option on Newark. Dunno how much it would be to have a machinist custom make exact copies, but it's good to have a resource of fairly close knobs.
Good find, those were the ones that I had found, thanks, now I can quit looking!
Hello Friends!
The 370 arrived! There's a little wear and tear on the box, and some rust on the chrome corners, but the amp itself is mint! Front and back all original and not a mark on it. Everything works!
It sounds incredibly fat! Even fatter than my 220, and that's saying something. I was immediately able to dial in classic bass tones from the early '70's.
When I was a kid I had the Watt Stax Festival sound track. The whole back line was ACC and I listened to the amazing performances by Rufus Thomas, The Staples Singers, Albert King, Eddie Floyd and others. The Bass was up front in the mix and sounded amazing!
That was when I decided I wanted to play Bass.
Now I own one of the exact amp models that was on that stage. Its a big deal to me!

Thanks! This is one of the only places where people get it! Most of my friends just want to get the latest model of Mark Bass.

How do you attach the picture to your post like that? I used to be able to just drag it from my desk top and drop it into my post, but that doesn't work any more. It just comes up as a file.
