knobs on OLC kits?

[hannibal827]

This is going to sound like a stupid question...

But does anyone know what kind of knobs these are in this image?

These are present on a lot of the OLC pedals, and I've seen them in other people's pictures of their DIY pedals.  But I can't seem to find these for sale anywhere.  Does anyone know where these are available, and what the manufacturer/product number are?

[I would write to OLC but from what I gather from other threads at this forum, they aren't very responsive.]

Thanks!

I had to order some of those once for a batch of ten pedals I had to build for one of my former "employers". I believe that you can get those from Digikey. They are very expensive, IIRC they are like $2.50 each.

EDIT: The ones I bought previously are similar to those in your link, but I got them from Jameco.

The ones on the OLC kits are probably from Jameco. Maybe this page here might help:

I've recently got a selection of knobs at a good price from an ebay seller wonderco_buy79 in Taiwan.

This one is pretty similar to the OLC knobs - http://www.ebay.ie/itm/130494522256?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1425wt_1097

Mark gets those somewhere special.  They're press-on for splined shafts - no set screw.  Send him an email and if he doesn't get back to you quickly, I can follow up for you.

Paul, Alan, Brian: thanks for your replies!
I think I've managed to find these on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290757124080?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Turns out there are a bunch of Hong Kong-based sellers offering these knobs at various quantity discounts.  Thank goodness they're not as pricey as those Jameco items.

ps Brian: thanks also for offering to follow up for me, and xtra special thanks for the Runoffgroove circuits--love your site & can't wait to build the Azabache.

I think that you've found them! Those look identical to the ones I've gotten from Mark and the packaging is similar as well.  Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you've enjoyed the site.

Cool, glad you found those on ebay. If you want some that are not made for split-shaft pots, check out Jameco. They have some cool knobs too.

Knobapalooza can be helpful for tracking down the odd knob.

Great page, isn't it?

Oops... my skimming needs improvement.

Yes great page and much to be gleaned from the whole site.
Take care,

I give Knobapalooza four knobs!
