Plastic Neve marconi style knobs in red and blue are available for US $0.30 each in lots of 200.
The knobs come from Daier in China but aren't listed on their site. They look really good.

Part no. is KN2618 red, KN2618 blue, KN2618 grey and KN2618 black and the sales persons name is Xuyu. The MOQ is 200 so group buy is the way to go.
The knobs only come with 18t spline so will need to be drilled out and have the set screws fitted for 1/4". Set screw can be supplied to if anyone wants to drill them out and fit them, it's very easy to do. Please see page 6 and 7 for detailed pics of how to do it and close ups of the knobs. Dimensions shown next post.
