Title: Sourcing control knobs?
Post by: therecordingart on March 31, 2010, 09:07:45 AM
All of the usual suspects have a pretty small supply of control knobs. Does anyone have a source other than PPP, Small Bear, Rat Shack, or Futurlec?

I've got two pedals that I've built that have pots in close proximity and the knobs that fit I've removed from my Morley Bad Horsie. I'm buying some knobs from Morley, but would like to find a different source.

Are those push-on types?  I've got a bunch like these:

and I have no use for them.  I could drop you some in the mail.  I think tubesandmore has them too, under "Korg" knobs.

Those are exactly them! Are they D-shaft or the knurled split shaft type? How many do you have and for how much?

They are the split shaft type.  I have a dozen or so, maybe more.  If you only need a couple I'll just mail them to you in an envelope, no cost, just pay it forward.  If you want all of them, we can work out a trade or you can send me a few bucks for shipping.
