Default Wanted: Hallicrafters S-72 knobs

Looking to buy up to five (5) knobs for a Hallicrafters S-72
restoration project.

The knobs are maroon/brown in color and made of molded
plastic. They are 0.915-inch in diameter and 0.455-inch thick.
The front of the knob is slightly rounded. Viewing the rear
there are four 90-degree extruded "compartments" plus a
serrated shaft hole. 16 finger grip serrations surround its
edge.

I have posted a photo of the knob at this web address:

The knob may have been used on some of the Hallicrafters TVs
but the S-72 and S-72L is the only model radio I have found this knob
used on. Of course, similar versions may have been used on other
brands as this was a pretty popular knob in consumer electronics
in the late 40s and 1950s.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
