futurlec aluminum knobs

[austin]

Has anyone used the aluminum knobs available from futurlec?  They're a decent price, but I can't even find pictures of them.  How is the quality?  What do they look like?

I got some yesterday in the mail along with some parts to build my current project. I think they are really decent, kinda look like stereo receiver knobs and don't feel cheap at all. The only problem is they're routed out too small for a regular 1/4" pot shaft (like Small Bear sells), but they fit fine on the knurled shaft pots that I ordered from them. Actually their pots are a helluva deal at .50 each. Alpha 16mm's !!! Someone else posted on here about the good deals they have, that's how I discovered 'em. Just wish they would sell jacks too.

Bluesdevil, do you think they might be 6mm? that is pretty common in Asia & matches a lot of Alps pots.

Yes, I believe so.  The knobs will fit on the pots they sell, so you can't go wrong if you order those together.

They're ugly.

i disagre...I love them.  The look, that is.  The constuction is excellent, too.

I got the mini black ones.
