Do you know where those things are available for purchase?

It is not worth sending your camera out, it is an easy job to replace the rewind knob. Just order the part. Tools needed are jeweler's screwdrivers, (cross-point and regular,) and a tongue depressor. If you examine the rewind knob, there are two screws, one straight down the middle, and another tiny one on the side of the shaft under the lever. Remove these, (save them) and stick the tongue depressor into the film shaft inside the camera to hold it. Then simply unwind the knob from the shaft. I believe it unwinds clock-wise, but I may be wrong on this. Just don't force anything. Check to make sure the shaft is not bent, and if it is OK, then just wind the knob onto the shaft, and reset the original screws. Again, make sure you are using good quality screwdrivers that fit, and don't force anything!
