I'm trying to find a replacement clock knob for my 1969 Ghia. I would appreciate any suggestions on where to find one. I've included a picture of the broken knob.

If you don't have any luck, you could always buy a non functional clock for parts:

I think I may have one. I'll check and let you know. (I have to get out of bed first.)
