Leak Audio….130 and 230 knobs?

Material: &nbsp;Solid, machined aluminium.
Feel: &nbsp;The knobs are described as providing a tactile, high-quality user experience.
Finish: &nbsp;They are designed to match the retro aesthetic of the unit, available in silver or black depending on the front panel variant.
Distinction from Vintage: &nbsp;Unlike some original 1960s/70s Leak models that used plastic, the current re-issued LEAK Audio products emphasize metal construction

The knobs appear to be plastic. Can anyone please confirm? Curious if they “feel cheap” when turning them? Thanks much
