I used these from Jameco :
264823CH            14    black knob
264815CH            3     green
264807CH            2     blue
264786CH            2     red
264831CH            1     grey
264794CH            4     yellow


Note that I ordered enough black knobs to also populate the Filtrex.

These are fairly hefty feeling knobs that look like the example knobs that
Tony pictured on the website.  They use a setscrew and it digs enough into
the shaft so it doesnt get loose.  I've had no problems with them loosening
up.
