Aesthetically, I'm looking for the brass knobs that were original to the model. Thankfully I have the channel selector knobs. So I'm looking for the 5 other knobs to the left. Any idea where to find them?
Thanks, Greg

I would replace both needles as soon as possible with new ones, as the remaining one in your phono's cartridge will destroy any modern LP records. These old cartridges were probably, even likely, made before LP, and certainly stereo, records were invented. The tracking force of these old cartridges is also likely to alter if not destroy modern LP records, especially stereo records. My advice is not to play any important (one of a kind, for example) records using this changer, for that reason.
