Thanks a lot guys, you are GREAT! The shaft hole adapter thing might be the route I will go if I cannot find suitable 1/8 shaft knobs. Btw: If I already "go shopping" what are the standard power connectors that connect to the PSx distribution board (brand, manufacturer etc). They

Mouser has a "shaft hole adapter" (part #506-KR1), which slips inside a 1/4" knob and allows you to mount it on 1/8" shafts... very handy. bbob www.fluxmonkey.com On Jan 28, 2008 8:02 AM, Steve Ridley spr@... > wrote: > thanks for your hint! As far as I know the beautiful looking

Hi, The Serge gear I'm familiar with from the early '80s used only skinny knobs (approx 12mm diameter, 1/8" shafts) which appear to be the Davies 1900-H. I've seen them listed at Allied (alliedelec.com) as recently as this summer. $2.42 in small quantity. Earlier panels also used

No idea on either, sorry. When I make my panels, I use a laser printer and paper, so my designs are in photoshop. As for the knobs, the larger knobs (1/4" shaft) appear to be Marshall amp knobs, while the smaller ones (1/8" shaft) I have never seen anywhere else. Most likely some
