Hello Jeff,
Eddystone knobs are a mixed bag! My 990R has very dark grey (black at a glance)with silver skirts and centres . . . I've never seen one with light grey. I've enquired from Ted Moore G7AIR/G3EUG about the availability of the IF/RF twins and he says none have been located to match the 990 for many years now.
I have got a new pair which I think may be for a 1990 or same period. They are collett-fitting (not grub-screw) and have black knobs with pale grey skirt and red centre. They are slightly deeper than the original and may need a shaving taken off. They won't be a match but they are better than nothing. Or am I misunderstanding and you still have an 'original' pair??

If anyone could help locate these, Id really appreciate it.
I have a 990R (ex-USA variant) that had black knobs.
All except the RF/IF concentric pair have subsequently been replaced
with the original light grey. Dave Simmons supplied these.
thanks and regards,
