Knobs for an Ancient Epi

Recommended Posts

Ok, so I have this RAD 65-67'(ish?) Red Epiphone Newport, 3/4 scale, w/ the Batwing head, original white pickguard.

My uncle gave it to me, so it's kindof an heirloom - he used to play it in this band he was in in the 60's and 70's, called The Furys. (Formerly known as the Wilde Knights, check 'em out on PNWBands.com, under the name The Furys.)

The problem is, I lost the volume knob, god knows when, and I haven't been able to find an even somewhat similar replacement, on the internet or otherwise, aside from ripping a similar one off of a somebody else's bass.

 

It's black, has grip-lines on the outside, and flat on top, with the flat circular surface being silver, and with a thin red V (for volume) and a thin red line on it. (I know this because it matched the still-present tone knob.)

 

Someone help me out?

Maya Ford from the Donnas plays one too, if anyone cares.
