Yes. The small knobs are the exact same as those used on the VF-1.

Two items of information:

1) The present uncombined cost for a set of replacement DX-35/40 
knobs as shown on Glenn's site ($56.95) is exactly the same price I 
paid for my entire original DX-35 transmitter in 1956.

2) The VF-1 is an excellent VFO when built (or re-built) properly. I 
have several of them. In fact, after replacing the 6AU6 with a 6AH6 
as Glenn suggested a long time ago, and the 0A2 with a 0B2 (150VDC 
reduced to 108VDC), my VF-1s key better and are more stable than the 
HG-10 VFO. I modified one of my VF-1s for grid-block keying and use 
it with my HW-16.
