Well, they aren't really knob caps. They're just these tiny little round
plastic discs with a little notch in them. The shaft of the pots themselves
has a dimple in the top, with ridges around the outside, that makes the
shaft easier to grip.
>From what I can tell, the little discs are just held in the shaft by
friction. When the shafts get old, they crack around the outer edge of the
dimple, and let go of the disc.
If you DO find a source of the little discs, please share it with the list.
I'm sure I'm not the only other person who would be interested!
