WTB: Alps-style fader knobs/caps

Does anyone have a stash of these guys? or a link to a LOCAL supplier? having trouble finding exactly what I need, which is frustrating considering how common these are. canford only have them in grey, plus I'm over paying $20+ for $10 worth of parts! RS, even ebay no good. AML don't stock them anymore, which is odd.

specs - 26mm (approx) long, 11mm wide (15mm would be OK), straight shaft (6-8mm depth), side indicators, low profile. your standard fader knob, as fitted to pretty much every yamaha/soundcraft/mid-range console with alps faders (P&G t-bar-type won't fit i think).

Prefer white but also after contrasting colours (for groups etc). Even silver would be fine (I know you can get the metallized ones on ebay - from Germany). I feel a bit dumb for even having to ask, but I'd much rather find someone with a local stash of these than having to order such a trivial part from o/s.

Many thanks in advance!

EDIT... Ha, I just saw Andy's FS post! Pm'ing you now...

We do Allen& Heath Alps knobs - all colours.

I'll do a measure and see if they fit

Cliff electronics do fader caps. I bought mine on eBay from Germany

Measured our caps: they fit your dimensions, with a fader slot approx. 20mm x2mm.
White, black, blue, red, plum, light grey.
Best price we could do, though, is still a bit pricey: $3 - 4 each

Hey thanks everyone, should be sorted now.

John, love the colour selection! But yeah a little pricey.
