Set of Knabe Rocker Capstans need

[gordon stelter]

Howdy folks!
   I have a spectacular Eastlake-style Knabe upright
from 1893 and matching piano cahir. But to complete it
I need a  set of the rocker capstans that screw to the
backs of the keys.
     Please email me privately if you have some.
     Thanks!
     Thump
