Singer 306W Chrome Knob Missing

Singer 306W Chrome Knob Missing
Another sewing machine followed me home. This is a tan 306W. I didn't know much about them when I "bought" this but after searching around here and other places on the web I am learning some.
Now I know that I should have looked to see if the chome knob was with all the #%&@ that came with it. I did get a few bobbins and two bobbin cases. There were a couple of packages of Singer needles but I am not sure if they are the right size.
There was one cam. Can I run the machine without that knob? Is there anything I can substitute for it?
Or have I bought a pig in a poke?

I don't have one in my stash either. Rubber band? Magnet? EBAY? Good machine - if the needles don't match quite with your normal needles they might work. Ask Mizkaki if she has one in her stash or if she has some idea how to improv

I went to see my OSMG today. He didn't have the Chrome Knob but he put a tiny bobbin winder tire on it and its holding for now. I am still searching for the knob but for now I have the machine up and running and I have the right needles for it.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

My OSMG is a real treasure. He told me how to fix some cabinet hinges that were stretched out of shape. And I had broken a part on one of my more modern plastic machines. The new part was $65 but he told me how I could fix it with a small screw. He is one in a million!
