Ha! That's the one I was using, just couldn't see spending $12 for one and now look where I am. ;)

With that said I am looking for a pair of nickel ones for doors on my VV-X if anybody has parts they're looking to find a home for.
It's just for what they're going for on eBay, I could buy a wrecked machine around here and use the parts off of that instead...

... though I hate the thought of parting out a machine. It would have to be really wrecked.
OK, I'm confused. Is it the one you need, or not? It came off a 4 spring motorboard. :)

Almost. The grab knob for the motor boards appears to be the same size and style as the door knobs for the VV-X. The problem is that mine was supposed to be gold plated like everything else in the cabinet, not nickel. The one I posted in my original post was nickel but that's because I was just "borrowing" it from my VV-X.

At the same time, I'm looking for a pair of knobs just like you've posted, do you have two of them?

Nope, just the one. Sorry.
