Title: Control Knobs...
Post by: hammerheadmusicman on November 18, 2012, 02:12:09 PM
Hi guys, Every one seems to get really cool control knobs..

Does any one knobs places to get them from with a good selection, either in the UK, or with cheap(ish) shipping, or preferably both! As some places have seriously expensive shipping costs, if you are just buying a bunch of control knobs..

thanks

George

Chickens - http://www.rapidonline.com/Mechanical-Fastenings-Fixings/Black-Pointer-Control-Knob-32-0175

We have a terrifying amount of these when they were going out of stock and said they weren't restocking (bought about 200 IIRC) - http://www.rapidonline.com/Mechanical-Fastenings-Fixings/Re-an-16mm-Soft-Touch-Knobs-64710

Current faves are these though. Small and classy - http://www.taydaelectronics.com/potentiometer-variable-resistors/knobs-5/knob-davies-1900h-clone-black.html

Or for bigger boxes we use these - http://www.taydaelectronics.com/potentiometer-variable-resistors/knobs-5/knob-davies-1510-clone-black.html

Hi George,

Try Banzai Music from Germany - not only a good stock of knobs, but a whole range of bits and pieces that can be hard to source elsewhere. Shipping is quick and reasonable to the UK too:

Doctor Tweek also carries a good range and he's a great bloke to deal with, with low shipping costs:

Cheers,

Not much to add other than +1 to all the links.

Doctor Tweek is sound as a pound. I always buy my 3PDT's from him.
