BREDGEO and CAPITAL G have shown exceptional skill at duplicating knobs and sliders and GLUCIFER has shown us Lego ain't just for kids with his modification of lego blocks into switches 
But what do you do when you don't have a part you can duplicate. Or what if the original is broken. I have shown how damaged parts can be patched up, duplicated and even converted to metal in my post regarding the wm1 linkage in the walkman sectiion. I will try showing you how one could go about fabricating a knob from scratch.
I'll use baddbill's request for a Panasonic RX 5100 knob as a demo example...as I haven't seen one except in his picture this evening
so I feel sorry for him and decide to fool around with some modelling wax we dentists use while making dentures....trying to copy what I could see on screen
so once I am satisfied with my wax 'prototype' I just have to proceed with standard mold making and duplication
