They are all 6mm shaft. OP asked for 0.125  0.25inch. Most (all?) API knobs are usually imperial.

Cheers

Don Audio has some selection,
I don't know the shaft.

There is a thread around that lately we talked about it, I think Ian told the shaft size

I think you have a smudge on your reading glasses, Ian, OP says 0.25"  ;D

But yes, he will have to drill out a tiny bit from 6mm.

I'm fine with drilling. And yep AVD had exactly what I wanted. Thanks gents.
Let me know how you get on drilling out the 0.25 inch. I tried this and was a few degrees off perfectly vertical. There is a very noticeable wobble on the couple I drilled out. I am not mechanically gifted in the least so it may just be me. I have half a dozen 6mm ones left if you want to save a little money.

You really need a drill press or at least a good jig to hold everything straight.  I had to drill out some Neve knobs once and it was stressful even with good tools  ;D
 
So I am having trouble ordering from AVD via some lame Russian-US sanction I guess
Its calling my purchase illegal.
I've drilled a few aluminum knobs before and a drill press is definitely required. Ian, if you have some extra I'd happily buy bcc them off you. I only need two. For right now.
