As some of this stuff gets rarer, I am beginning to believe it's OK to get the correct or close enough knobs of an incorrect color or otherwise imperfect, and fix/paint them to be as true to the original as possible. But try a WTB ad on the classified if you have not already done so stating just exactly what you want. No Hippos or HippoKnobs in my stash, but someone may have some for you. Best of Luck.
