Is there a newer Penn drag knob that will replace the original one and fit this reel?

The original knob on the reel developed a crack on one side that I just discovered.  I haven't used the reel in decades and don't want to pay $40 for an original NOS knob.

Should have one -- not home until later tonight -- will check and advise tonight or tomorrow if you still need one.

108 degrees down here in Fresno today.

Need to get back home.

Here is a new old stock Black Drag knob for the 420SS, W --

$15 + $5.

You might find a used one for less.

I'd give anything for 108°... we're at 117° or higher for the next week...  :P  :-[

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!  :D

Thank you for your help, Fred. The knob arrived and all is perfect with it. I'm posting a few pics here for visual reinforcement.... :)
