Need help finding vintage amp knob

[floyd84]

Hey everybody, posted this on mylespaul forums, and was directed here.
Anybody know where I can find this type of reflector knob with the red indicator? Nothing came up on Google or the 'Bay. The amp is a 1957 Epiphone Emperor with a 1949 Jensen speaker. I'm having this one refurbished and we are at a loss.

You might have to go the extra mile and fabricate your own.

Turn the thing out on a lathe, aluminum tape over a red fill with the triangle cut out

how bout aluminum tape with a little triangle cut from a red lighting gel

That's a tough one.

If you can find a knob with the silver concave top, you could paint the red arrow or use a red sharpie.
I don't recall seeing any knobs like that before.

Well Gibson and many other aftermarket manufacturers make the black guitar reflector knobs, but they have white numbers imprinted in them, so they can be seen from the top through the clear plastic.

There are vintage radio places both with old knobs, and the ability to mold you new ones off of an original, maybe try one of those places? I don't have a link, but hit a few off a google search last week.

i've had more luck on the UK version of ebay for tracking down knobs.

be patient and keep looking search the model of amp in an way possible a couple times a week.

happy hunting!

I went down this road with an old soundcity 120R head it took almost 2 years but i did find it!
