Best makeshift spinner knob
Stingray:
At least I didn't say "non-standard shaft size". :)

I don't remember who it was or know for certain where it is anymore, but it's an option to consider.

Found Twisty-Grip plans here -

and the demo knob came from www.apem.com, if you want to try your luck with them.
And yes, I'm replying to my own post. Happens when you get old. . .
MiKman:
generally what is the diameter of a spinner knob? I found one in a junkbox at a handyman junk store for $1.00 it's aluminum I think and works quite well, looks to be off an old silver stereo maybe... But it feels a bit small at 1 3/8" diameter. So what's the normal size?
