I don't know where to get better ones but I repaired the knobs that broke with 30 min epoxy and they worked for a while. I called Elecraft and they sent a set under warranty and I bought two more sets. They are not expensive, but the shipping and handling is, co I bought three new sets. My outer ring broke and while I was looking at it the inner knob broke also. Elecraft could do well if they found something better quality.
