Cheap knobs for potentiometers

[WesMVaughan]

I need to replace some knobs for some potentiometers for a ITS8 kit I bought from GeneralGuitarGadgets.com.  Does anyone know where to buy some cheap knobs? The cheapest I have seen is like $3 and the pot itself is less than that. Thank you!

Welcome to electronics. You will spend more on the enclosure, knobs and jacks than you will on components 99% of the time.

no idea how much shipping is through there. You can try smallbear also. I also don't know the shaft size on those  ggg pots

I like the following places:

All well under $3 per pot.

haha...I found some at mouser right after I posted here...But I do have another question. I need to buy a 100k linear pot. I know the brand is alpha. However I notice several different pots appear on mouser that are made by alpha and have the same shaft size/type. The only difference is the watt rating. How do I know which one I need? Also on my pot that needs replacing it says A100k...What does that mean? I bought a pot from radio shack earlier and the guy sold me a linear pot that said B100k on it. The shaft size is like 2inches long & it wont fit inside my enclosure b/c the pot itself is too big. Thanks again for the quick replies~!

A100k...What does that mean?

It's 100K audio taper, and GGG kits supply this Alpha style:

RS has only a very small selection and it's almost all overpriced. Mouser is a good source if you know exactly what you want by part number. Their service people can't help you pick things, and the catalog is encyclopedic, but hard to navigate. Welcome to my shop!

Yep.  Small Bear has the best variety of knobs I've seen anywhere, and they're very competitive on price.

Yes they will (I've used those, though a different color)
99% of knobs on smallbear will work with 99% of pots. Don't worry about it.

Are 6.35mms really more common than 6mms?
