There are 3/4" MOTM-style knobs at www.radioshack.com, as well as
full-sized. If I recall, a pack of 4 small is $2.49, 4 large $2.89; the
price goes down w/ volume, though that's not advertised. I can't tell the
difference between them and the real deal, except they have slotted inserts,
which I prefer over hex anyway...
