Source for large cream-colored knobs?

[trumpus]

Hey all,

I've got an Antelope Morning Dew EQ/Buffer in the mail - my second one (this one's a burst version, my first was the blue-screened version).  I want to swap out the black knobs for cream ones.  The problem, however, is that 2 of the knobs are larger than average, and I have not been able to find a source for them.

I e-mailed Brian, the builder, who said the source he got them from only sold them in bulk, and I just need 2!

Anyone know where I can find large, cream knobs that look like these:



Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Brian

Smallbear and mouser sell the black ones you have pictured but I don't know that I've ever seen cream colored ones.
Cream colored Chicken head knobs are the largest I've seen.

Perhaps buy another black set and try Krylon spray paint made for plastic.

There is also this rubber coating goo you buy in a can for dipping.
I've seen it in white, orange, and safety yellow.
I've wondered what it would be like to dip a knob in this stuff, or an enclosure for that matter.

Oh, found it, it's called Plasti Dip

I've found the smaller ones (like the center, mid knob) but haven't found the larger knobs (treble, bass) - so buying another set (black or cream) isn't an option!

Well if you want the large black ones you pictured Smallbear and Mouser has them.




The Plasti-Dip stuff is rubbery and quite thick. Same stuff you dip tools in to insulate them.
The plastic spray paint may be an option if you can find a cream color. It will wear/rub/chip off eventually though.

Davies is notoriously a pain in the butt to deal with when it comes to getting things that aren't "on the menu," which is why my colored 1510 clones have to come from China. Sometimes if I say "pretty pleeze," and they happen to be running a color of resin that I want, I get something--like the red and white chicken-heads f'rinstance. I will inquire, as I need some new investments, and this would be a good one.

I actually placed a SMall Bear order yesterday and got some of those smaller cream ones, but I'd really like to find the larger ones to keep the general aesthetic feel of the pedal...the small ones will do in the meantime.
