[sdiy] Cheap knob source?

[Rude 66]

have you tried looking on ebay? i recently bought a whole bunch of knobs,
112 in all. these are all different sizes, about 4 or 5 of them, but the
knobs are all nice black bakelite. cost me around 50 dollars, real quality
stuff.
you might be able to find osmething similar if it's for a one-off. for a
series this might not work..
