About those knobs, black or red, let me ask the following:
I tried making resin casts of those knobs. It worked pretty well. I
drilled them out and put a brass 1/4" sleeve in it for the shaft, then
drilled and tapped the set screw holes. The black ones are dead on
identical - you can't tell they aren't metal until you tap them. With
the red ones, there was no way to exactly match that anodized red look,
so they look painted.
But, they are new, solid, and work great. Given the amount of hand work
involved, I would have to sell them for maybe $15 each (maybe a bit less
of folks on the list). At that price, would I actually sell any? If
there is interest, I'll put up some pictures.
I'm still looking at casting the big knob. It would be a mess - at least
a 3-piece mold. Work in progress.
