Most accurate repro early 60s knobs?

[TomK]

I'm looking for the most accurate repro early 60s Tele control knobs I can find . . . as I'm working on something that looks like this original . . .

You can see in the pic (above) that the knurling doesn't come as close to the knob's top edge like Fender's current 60's repro knobs do (below) . . .

HOWEVER, it looks like the 58 Pure Vintage knobs are somewhat close (below) . . .

Anybody have any other suggestions??? Thanks!

(By the way, I managed to source an actual vintage Dakaware switch tip for the build which I'm pretty jazzed about--but I must admit that it's nearly identical to the current Fender repros . . . next I need to track down a decal with the "TELECASTER" printed boldly enough.)

Ask Marc Rutters, I suspect he can cut the knurl anyway you like, but I’m not sure. You have to ask. He cut me some custom ferrules once.

His early 60s knobs are close to your picture:

This may or may not help.......this genuine 1970 Tele original [3/4"] diameter aluminium plated knobs suffered from peeling chrome in early 1972.......I also felt the weight of the actual knob was lacking feeling....[the aluminium surface when photographed does not display the peeled chrome surface]

So for whatever reason I secured a [1.0"] diameter piece of bronze and machined/knurled the 2 larger diameter knobs with a copy of the knurling depth & had them chrome plated

The aluminium knob each = 13 gms, the bronze each are 78 gm's ..... or each 6 x times the weight......

So the heavier knobs have always provided a hugely greater tactile rotational feel during levels......movement......

[an old trick with Stratocaster players was to adjust the height of the 3 knobs, so to drag on or against the Pick Guard]
