ID these knobs?
We're hunting treasure.
Anyone recognize these knobs and know where there might be some?

They look similar to bakelite knob that Westinghouse used.

Excellent, which would make some sense. I think they are 50s/60s surplus.
A friend needs these if anyone has a surplus source.

Groovy 2-tone! I have no answer where to find (except it's always worth an inquiry at ApexJr) but what's that gear they're attached to? Looks like possibly some sorta special EQ.

They're vintage Catalin, and very unusual in that the skirt is a different color.
The butterscotch and red are hard colors to find.
