that's amazing you can talk to those legendary heroes, isn't it?
And with wide spread presence of social media today they are more likely 
to respond.
A few years ago Tom has bought some parts form me and I'm still shaking.

BTW, you know that SEM was designed by Dave Rossum for Tom Oberheim when 
he wanted some/any sound played as addition to his digital sequencer but 
didn't really know how to do that.

As for knobs, is really exact look of the knob your primary goal? There 
are so many good looking cheap knobs to choose from. Try mony.com.tw, 
they make a lot of good quality knobs, they also make knobs for Switchcraft.
They make pointers knobs like 43001, 43002 and 43005. No they're not the 
ame as SEM knobs, but very much alike. Not to mention a lot more other 
types, better than this IMHO.

Mony MOQ is 3000 IIRC on bakelite knobs but surely they should be found 
at Alibaba in smaller quantities.
