<DIV>I am prep'ing a VF-1 for sale and the two smaller knobs (the typical
Heathkit knobs from that era) are both on their last legs - the plastic is just
old and the stress from the set screw is just splitting them apart. I seem to
remember something, from somebody on some forum, who was considering making
replacement knobs (hopefully with a brass insert or the like!). <BR><BR>So
does anyone have any hints here for a possible source for a replacement
knob? Or does anyone have any ideas on how I might go about making a
replacement? All thoughts, ideas, etc most gratefully received.<BR><BR>As
a side note, I don't just want a original knob which will probably have now (or
later) the same problem - 40 year old plastic just giving up the ghost.
