Default Roberts R300 Brass Knob Brights

Good afternoon all,

I'm new here so forgive me for going over old and well-trodden ground, but could anyone point me in the direction of a set of new/old/spare brass knob brights for a Roberts R300, please. Any information would be welcome.

Many thanks,

Tom

A standard dodge is to make new brights using gold foil from coffee jars.
