Well I now have the Knob . where would I find a screw for it. The screw goes down the middle and is called a machine screw I believe.

It's usually called a grub screw, and the usual place to find a replacement is from another similar knob.

Otherwise they can be sourced from engineering and hobby suppliers, but you'd need to get the spec from one of the other knobs on that set.

I might seek out a engineering firm. It isn't a grub screw this one goes down the Centre of the shaft and holds the knob on that way . This one has a small domed head on it.
On another subject have you ever tried to find a straight non Philips head wood screw . They don't seem to make them any more . Cant find them at Bunnings.

I haven't used a slot headed wood screw for decades. Not surprised Bunnings doesn't stock them these days.

Brass? Countersunk?

If so, this guy sells them:

... and others.
