Lost one. The other is kinda yellow - would love to find a match but failing that can anyone point me to a source for replacements or even something close?

The bad news is the volume and tone control knobs on that model were done from the same or similar mold as the control knobs used on many prewar lap steel guitars before WW2.

The good news is that Gibson made thousands of BR-9 lap steel guitars. You can find the knobs on parted out lap steels. I don't think those knobs were used on any other Gibson instruments.



Good luck
