Nikon F Rewind Knob

I recently bought a Nikon F at a thrift store that was missing the rewind know. It still has the shaft that goes down into the body and film cartridge. I am trying to run down a replacement knob, but of course they are hard to find. I am really itching to use this camera.

Does anyone know if there are knobs from other, less costly cameras that may also work with the F? I was thinking I would buy a "parts only" Nikon F to get this one going, but even those are ridiculously priced now. I appreciate any guidance on alternatives.

Wow, 480Sparky, thank you! Believe it or not, I searched and searched on eBay - that listing never popped up for me for some reason. $25 (with shipping) is a little steep, but since I got the camera for $15, I splurged and bought it. With $40 invested, I have a pretty nice F!

Now if I can just find a prism finder to replace the ugly metered finder... but that is not a must-have. I can't wait to start using this thing!

Thank you again!
