[Vintage-Audio] Ka-nobs for EICO

Howdy all,

I know it's a long shot but hamfest season is upon us and maybe someone will
stumble over the knobs I need.  I have a really sweet EICO ST-70 amp, circa
196.  It uses a pair of 7591s in each channel and is in excellent shape -
except some previous owner decided that chome knobs would look better I
guess.   Alongside the matching tuner it's a real eyesore, so I'd love to
find a set of the originals.

I can send a photo to anyone who would like to see, but they were common to
a number of EICO products of that era.  They are actually two pieces of
plastic glued together - the back is brown with two ears protruding at 180
degrees, the front is light beige in color with a brown painted center.    I
think they made them this way so they could be used on concentric shafts but
I don't care about that - I'd just like to find SIX of them.  So if anyone
runs across an old EICO with this kind of knob, or has an EICO-rich knob
drawer, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Based on this set, I'd say EICO made some good stuff.  Anyone else care to
comment?
