I'm Looking for a pair of aluminum knobs, 1-1/2" (at least) in Diameter x 3/4 or 1" deep. These Knobs will need to fit 1/4" shafts, preferably with set screws for tightening onto  the 2 vol. "Daven" shafts..... My stock of nice solid aluminum knobs is low...I've looked on line but have come up short, only plastic knobs found so far...... Any DIYers have any or know where I could pick a few up???  I could make a trip to Fair Radio, in Lima,Ohio  and go through their Old Stock, But Thought I'd check here first...Thanks for any info...

This question has been asked often and there are several threads with some good suggestions. I have often found what I am looking for overseas. If you don't mind waiting a couple weeks, check out: PARTSPIPE Audio

1.6" by ~1" deep.  Solid aluminum fits .25" shaft and has a set screw.  I got a few and I like them and their pricing is pretty good compared to everything else I saw looking for knobs.

 

Edit: Shipping is pretty high but when you buy more the average shipping comes down to a bearable level.

Digi-Key has some very nicely made machined solid aluminum knobs from KILO INTERNATIONAL.  They are reasonably priced and have a great feel, available in several styles, different knurls / no knurl, etc.
