They are .236 inches... .o14% difference.  I would chance that.

I was on my phone before. I am not sure if Alpha is a brand or what. I am sure these shafts would work for me since the shaft is actually smaller than 1/4-inch - so most knobs you have should fit right on there.

In terms of quality - I don't really find the ones from Tayda to be super reliable - I have had a few go bad.

I have been buying these knobs at Tayda: http://www.taydaelectronics.com/hardware/knobs-8688/black-plastic-knob-with-blue-pointer.html and it says they are 6mm diameter (Knurled). The knobs they sell with set screws are 6.35 shaft hole (meaning you get .35 mm play before you tighten the set screw).
