I wonder if those knobs are the same as those found on an old clock radio.

I would just do a search on ebay or google for 'appliance knobs' maybe add the word small.

Sunbeam, Westinghouse and perhaps some others offered these "appliance center" gadgets. They all also usually were makers of all sorts of small electric kitchen appliances so you can see where they were going with these offerings.
Well into 1970's housing was where you could find it and not all of it had kitchens with ample "house power" for all those electric gadgets (coffeemakers, mixers, toasters, blenders...). This especially say at breakfast time when one would likely be using a few such electrical appliances at once (toaster, griddle, coffeemaker, frying pan...). These appliance centers in theory allowed one to expand electrical service to an area of kitchen counter space where outlets were few or nil. Certainly probably safer than having extension cords scattered about. retrorenovation.com/2011/12/18/n... | ||

Westinghouse and Sunbeam kitchen outlet centers
These were usually wired to a 30 amp 10 gauge circuit, the four outlet one may have used only 20 amps, you would run a 240 V circuit and split it normally.
They could use such a heavy circuit because there were individual circuit breakers above each outlet that saved a lot of wiring to the unit. I’m sure the clock knobs are similar to a lot of stove top clock knobs we have boxes full of various ones. If you could get some detailed pictures of the shaft they go on and the back of the knob I’m sure I have knobs it will fit it. John. | ||
