The knobs changed in mid 72, and I think the older knobs have been unavailable 
new for a long time. I may have some good used ones, but the problem is that 
they are VERY hard to get off without ruining them. They are held on by a 
spring clip for which there is no good way to remove it. Sometimes you can just 
force them off, but often they break. I avoid removing them at all, unless it 
is absolutely necessary.
