I recently decided to get back into guitaring in my dotage (I am 68) dragged my trusty 112 from the garage and then repmembered tat some B***** had stolen 4 of the knobs last time I gigged it (some time ago). Searching has produced no easy solution for replacements - any one have any idea what might fit - and where I might get them?The amp is all go apart from this annoyance (I dont care if they are red or black as long as they fit - I will replace all of them if necessary! There must be some out there somewhere! BTW I am based in the UK but happy to buy from anywhere!!!!:D

Thanks stratele52. The search goes on for genuine replacements - but to nothing yet. I have bought some that look similar but the D is 180 degrees out - so still looking. In the meanwhile the amp has has 2 new capacitors, a repaired reverb tank and a good clean and is sounding really quite good.
I have even bought a modern player Tele deluxe to put through it now!

" D " shafts are not easy to find replacement knob.

Best is to make another half for the "D" to make a round shaft and buy knobs with screw. These can be fit almost with every shaft.
It shaft are " D" shape, convert them in round shaft and buy any knob with a set screw you like

Go to Hobby store and buy wood stick.
Cut a piece of wood to fill the empty part of the 'D" shaft .

If there's any doubt he could always e-mail or phone Steve (at Angela) directly. He's very knowledgeable.
