That's a goofy knob.
It doesn't look tapered like all the ones I've seen. 
I'd buy it just for the "F" cap... ;D

Man it's nice to have our own engineer/designer/fabricator on this board!

Cool stuff! I toyed with the idea of just getting a load of F caps made, cause so many HMs are missing them, but I had no idea how to go about it so never did anything...

Looks great Bo, spot on, and I remember you saying earlier you'd have to do it freehand. Great work! ;D

Well, I basically traced around the logo by hand, so it's pretty close.
Our software created the small straight lines on the left side of the "F" but you cannot see them with the naked eye.
I ordered some knobs from All Parts, so we'll see how they turn out.
I might tweak and test a bit more, but for a first try, not bad.
Thanks for suggesting this, btw...

Sweet. I got the little straight lines out. Looks better now, at close up range.

I'm amazed myself! Thank you sincerely for the kind words.
These pictures do zero justice because of all the detail revealed.
The real test will be putting it side by side with an original, as a replacement...
