Someone should repro them, shouldn't be too hard provided you can come up with a pristine one to make a mold from.

Yep! those little rubber knobs are the first to go, they get brittle and break off in chunks. On my childhood set, I replaced them with short pieces of black insulation in about 1959. Today I just cut short chunks of silicone tubing (model airplane fuel line) and slide onto the knurled shafts. Second to go was the power cord, where it enters the set.
Your set is looking great! good luck with the re-cap job!
