Oh, the best of British luck finding them!  No

The SwitchMaster knobs were unique to Westone and unless someone here has spares to offer you, about the only place you'll find them is on places like eBay. And they will not be cheap!

Over the years several technically gifted members have managed to make replicas, either through moulding or 3D printing. Some had success, others not so much. You could do a search to locate the discussion threads for more info.

Sadly those folks have been absent from the forums for a long time and I don't expect to see them anytime soon.

Moulding them would be the easiest way forward… check out YT channels for just this type of thing - Wesley Treat did really old radio and electrnic equipment knobs a few years back and it looks quite do-able…

… provided you’ve got one from which to make a pattern!!

Thanks guys I will keep looking then I have a 3d printer and I'm very good at DIY but I think I would rather have original ones
It's taken me years to find a quantum I'm sure something will turn up eventually
