Anyone know where to find one (or three)?

IIRC they are the same knobs as for some westones, and I know westone.info had some but they are sold out and discontinued.

Easiest would be to make a set yourself i believe.
Something rather easily done in a lathe.

I got the specs from Kees and have made a set for him that just hasn´t got out the door yet.
I can make another set for you time permiting.

I recently bought a replacement set for my Westone from Armadillo Guitar.

They are almost identical to those on my VP820. They are about 1mm wider and the knurling is a bit coarser, but very very close. Below are some pics of a new one alongside the original ones on the VP.

Sure, everything is easy if you got the tools. :)
I would love a set, and I aint in any hurry.
