FWIW, My father has been doing repairs on Shopsmiths in the Los Angeles
area for years. He has also been supplying rebuilt speed control knobs
that have a steel gear in them, instead of the factory pot metal. I
think he can still get parts, but I don't know for sure. Best thing if
you are looking for Shopsmith parts, go to user grany555 on ebay and
send him a message. He usually has at least one knob up for sale, but
doesn't right now.
Peace,
Pat
