[Boatanchors] Swan 350: Need 2 0.40" inlays or 2 mic gainl/car bal knobs

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

Can you send a pic & measurements of the knobs you need? I looked at some online pics & I may have some knobs that are right but the online pics seemed to show some slight variations (or non original knobs). I also have some spun aluminum disks from which I've cut/filed replacement inlays for smaller knobs.
There's also a fellow advertising in Electric Radio with spun aluminum inlays. Charlie Talbot, k3ich at arrl.net. Might be able to help.

Having fun with this project, but my inner German is disturbed by the missing inlays. 

Have found the larger 0.60" inlays, but not the 0.40".

If unobtainium, has anyone ever tried using a punch of the proper diameter on a larger inlay?

My first radio love:  In 1965 (age12) I visited the shack of a guy who bought himself one as a retirement present.  A tower and tri-bander, too).  Guy was working Europeans left and right.  Magic!

Finally got one!
