Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

The sales person at Cliff said their minimum order is 1,000 units - that would
be a bout 700GBP for one order of knobs!

Their suggestion was ordering via Farnell or RS Online, but they don't stock the
K85 knobs. Probably the best alternative I could find is this:

I'll order one along with a suitable through hole mounted, 100K linear pot and
see if it fits in my SDS9.
