Hi everyone,
A couple of weeks ago I finally scored my first piece of Marantz equipment, a 2226B, for 3.99 at my local GoodWill Clearance Center.

My question for anyone who can help: Does anyone have a source for replacement knobs? I've been searching eBay and it seems a few turn up every now and then, at ridiculous prices.
