Default Nice, metal tuning knobs for Drake R8B?

I recall some discussion of these a while back and I wouldn't mind
picking one up, but I can't remember where to get them.

If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Steve

Mike Maghakian had them, but unsure if he has anymore.

I picked one of these up and it's a nice knob. Nice, heavy metal.
Feels good. What I really need now--and should have thought of
previously--is a nice felt washer to put behind the knob. This should
improve the action of the knob a lot.

Does anyone know of a good source for something like this?

It seems like this would be easy to make for one's self...felt is a
dime-a-dozen at craft and fabric stores, in many different grades.

That's good to know....I'll have to track down a craft store and check
it out. Thanks.

Steve,
An Alternative is those Stick-On Felt-Pads.

Place a few on to the back of Tuning Knob.

Place the Knob on to the Shaft and Position It to where
You have the Right "Feel" then Secure It.
