I have a sample coming, we'll see if it is the same thing or not (I'll send it
to you after snapping some pictures, if you want---I really don't have a use for
it).
What I have coming is an Alco (now a part of Tyco) knob part number KN1751A1/4.
I was quoted a price (10-50 quantity, they won't sell under 10) of $7.78 each.
The KN1751 series is shown in catalogs as having a spinner, but the Tyco search
engine claims this particular part doesn't. Would make sense seeing how
anything with a spinner seems to be over $10.
