I have a 1987 SC-3 that I am trying to put back to stock parts. The last pieces missing are the knobs. At some point, somebody put knurled knobs on it, but it's my understanding that the knobs look like these:
So, if anybody has some 80s-era SC knobs (or similar-looking knobs), or knows where I can get my hands on a pair, I'd love to hear about it.
It's also missing the back cover plate for the tremolo cavity and I'd be super grateful for any info on that too.
Thanks!

Re: knobs and tremolo cover plate for 80s G&Ls?
I'm not sure where you could find the knobs, other than posting a "parts wanted" ad in the G&LDP Marketplace. I hesitate to suggest eBay, as that might just encourage people to part out old instruments.
You should be able to get a replacement tremolo cover plate from Greg Dellevigne at ESI. He's listed on the G&LDP Links page.
I hope this helps.
