Hi Castaway,

Do you have the capability of reproducing a range of knobs?

How do you go about it? Do you make a cast of a sample?

Hi,
Yes,i can reproduce most shapes and sizes,matching colours can be difficult at times.
Yes,i need a sample to start with,if it's damaged I can do the repair first then reproduce the piece.
Email me if you like and I can send you some photos of my work.
Thanks.

Hi Castaway, do you still make these Mickey reproduction knobs? I need a couple in black/ black-brown for an Astor CR car radio.
