Greetings, Fellow Forumites:

I'm trying to track down a usable pair of Rickenbacker flying saucer knobs for a bakelite restoration project. Black or white or red or any combination. Please let me know if you have one or two that you would be willing to part with.

Yes, I know this is a long shot...

Best,

I Google'd "1930 1940 radio knob" and found this guy:

It is hard to keep a flying saucer parked long enought to take the knobs off.
They do land in wheatfields tho. According to Jonathan Winters.
