[sdiy] Knobs for 1/4" shaft

[Steve Thomas]

Hi Juergen..Cliff Components (UK) have a nice range of knobs both plastic 
and aluminium. You can buy direct from them in bulk..I think they will send 
you free  samples of knobs (least thats what they did for me)

www.cliffuk.co.uk

is the UK website for ordering info.

Their US site:-
http://www.cliffcomponents.com/index2.asp

has detailed pics/cad drawings of all the control knobs.

Thing is ..I am not totally sure if theyir knobs come in both 6mm and 1/4 
inch shaft fitting.


Cant wait to see this amazing panel!..are there any pics of it yet?

cheers
steve
