Hey guys,
So a while ago I got a couple of freebie knobs from a forum member. I LOVED them! I have been trying to find the manufacturer of them for a while and after countless Google searches I finally found what I was looking for. Here are a few of the options that they offer.
Here is a picture of the knobs with no insert. There is a set screw in the middle of the knob that tightens onto the shaft of the pot. The insert (or pointer) then goes over the set screw concealing it completely. Its a pretty sleek design. The knobs and inserts are made from a textured plastic.
Here are some of the insert / pointer options. They have a few more available theses are just the ones I found to be more appealing.
This is one of the original knobs I got from the forum member. It has a 31mm diameter and uses the blue insert like in the picture above.
Here are what some of the inserts look like on the knobs. I really like the disk insert (the one on the right) and will probably use it on my friend's 1590A Reverb build.
Do you guys think Lawrence from BLMS would be interested in these? I would be willing to send him a couple of mine so he could check them out. I know he is out of the country now but maybe I'll email him when he gets back. I need to order a couple things from him as well. Anyways, I figured you guys might like um. Hope everyone in the states had a good Thanksgiving.
