Angry Westinghouse H-196

Since 19 years I am searching for some knobs for the TV-set named above!
I need both channel-knobs (selector/fine tuning) and one of the front knobs.
Help me please not to search 20 years of my life for them.

Thanks in advance,

Can you post close-up photos of what they should look like?

I believe this is the set: http://www.vintagetvsets.com/west196.htm
and http://www.earlytelevision.org/westinghouse_h-196.html

I've seen those brass outer knobs a few times on eBay and swap meets, but don't have any spares for ya right now

I might have some of the inner brown ones though. If you can provide a nice closeup picture, I'll check my stash.

P.S. That's a real nice set

Close ups

Here are some close up pictures.

My 196 has three different colors of small knob because that was what I could get, I believe the correct color is the swirled red same as the channel selector.

Complicating matters is that the small knobs fit on two different sized D shafts.

The outer knobs should be Brass clad like the one on the right of picture two but they are available in reverse painted plastic which looks kind of cheap.
