I thought about it for a bit.  I'm going to try a trick tomorrow 
night. I'll get out my trusty JB Weld and make a slider knob.

JB Weld is a two-part, high temperature, high strength epoxy that 
takes about 6hrs to completely set up/solidify.  Once it's solid, 
it's awesome.  I've used to to hand-craft "metal" figurines for a 
game, so I'm familiar enough with it to know it'll work.

I think I'll measure the slider knob "tray" area.  I'll then 
construct a frame for building the part, pour some JB Weld in, and 
wait.  Thursday/Friday, once it's set up, I'll take apart the frame, 
cut the hole in the bottom using my dremel, and try the fit.  Then 
I'll see if I can cut the V-shaped slices in the top like the 
original slider knob. Paint it black, and it's done.  

If someone has a close-up pic of said slider knob from the real deal, 
I'd love to see it.

Maybe.

Tony
