Cyndustries.com uses these same knobs as well, they are known as
Davies 1900h from the Davies Molding company, and we offer
them at $2.00 each.

(We even have a few of the old shorter & wider "Raytheon" type knobs
as we were going to use them for a product and then changed our
minds and stuck with the Davies instead.)

A girlfriend of mine has a very fancy-schmancy physical
flight simulator console and it has the very same Davies 1900h knobs.

"Hey Cyn - why are you looking at my flight simulator like that?"

LOL!

(We also offer the widest range of Banana Patch cords as well!)

Go Bananas!

Ratheon type I believe?

NO!!! STOP!!

(Serge Systems use +/- 12 Volts along with 6 volts,
but .com system power supply generates +/-15 volts)

It may be possible to lower the output of a .com Power Supply to
only 12 volts, (instead of 15 volts) but then - you could no longer
use it for the .com 15 volt modules.

Contact Rex Probe at STS for a power supply, (or we can easily build
one for you as we have done for numerous clients including Doug Lynner's
five-panel Serge, and Gary Chang's mighty Wiard modular in groovy
"Richter Blue" anodize).

I'm sure that Rex could also supply you with some knobs as well.

Hope this helps you!
