Anyone have (and willing to part with) or know where I can get a couple of these wacky 70's Yamaha knobs from a YTA-95? Or know some other amps that used them?

Never seen them on anything else. Could you find similar and cut a section out as a stopgap?

Those are cool looking.
Could you take a regular knob cut a notch and paint it? You may need to do a whole set so they look the same.
The basic shape looks like these.

I did not see knobs like yours on their page, so I emailed them. Lets see what they say.
I attached your image to the email.

Hello,
We are looking for some Yamaha YTA-95 guitar amp knobs.
Do you have anything like that?
