At band camp at my local music school, my Gibson SG Standard was sitting on a guitar stand. One person knocked the stand over. My A string tuner hit the hard floor and it was broken. The rod was bent and two of the pins were snapped. I don’t to buy a whole set because they run for around 60$. Does anybody know where i can buy a single one? They are the chrome ones with the pearloid knob, and they say “Gibson Deluxe” on the back. They are the ones found here:

I am going to be purchasing some parts for my guitar and would like some opinions.
First- I am looking into the Gibson 500k ohm Potentiometer push/pull knobs. I know that they change the tone from a humbucking pickup to a single coil, but I was wondering should I replace both tone knobs or just one. ( my neck position pickup is a burstbucker pro and my bridge position is a 1957 paf)
Second- What is the difference in the Gibson vintage les paul tuning knobs with pearloid buttons and the Gibson vintage nickel plated tuning knobs with pearloid buttons?
Thank you for responding
