I found a great, working K200 in a thrift store last month. The only problem--no knobs. I'm wondering what the value on old Kustom knobs are--if they're going to cost me 5 bucks apiece or more, I'll just stick any old knobs on there. If anyone has a set they would let go of cheap (I need nine), please post or email me at dj_clemmin@yahoo.com. Thanks, -DJC

If you are not so much into 100% restoring it, use the radio shack knobs. If you want originals, I think Debie a regular on the site known as KUSTOM BLUES has some new originals for sale.Every now and than you find original Kustom style knobs on other stuff. Example, 80s DOD stomp boxes used the same knobs, most times you can find these in pawn shops for 10 bucks.

All Electronics sells knobs that look identical to the Rat Shack ones, but for only 75cents each (.60 if you buy 10 or more). Web site is www.allcorp.com, part number is KNB-146. Their min shipping charge is about $6, so if you only order 10 knobs, it'll wind up costing you $1.20 each, still a pretty good price.

Guys, I have some original sytle knobs.... Radio Shack ones have a line indicator, not a dot like the originals and they are bigger around. They'll be knobs, but not right... If your amp is sweet, get original style knobs, if it's crappy don't worry about it.
