I stopped in a thrift store trolling for console stuff at lunch today. They had a whole bunch of cheap (less than $5) and really crappy looking old audio equipment. I saw several items that had big knobs that would look great on a spinner.

If you're goning to make it an iterative process and end up buying several knobs, you'd be better off spending $15 now.  I know you said that you don't have $15 in your control panel budget, but realistically how hard is to save $15 stinkin' dollars?

I was talking about getting them off of receivers that were getting thrown out...  I would never actually pay for a stereo knob.

not a terrible idea (on a budget)...    personally, I think I'm just going to drop the $15.

What's $15 when you add up all your costs, anyways...

My second major issue (after the $$) is the shaft size.  I am using a non-standard shaft size, so whatever knobs I do end up getting will have to be doctored to work properly.  Thus, spending $15 on a nice knob might be a waste if I happen to break it or cannot doctor it properly.

I still may someday add a pair of POT based paddles to a control panel someday, but after getting my Oscar Vortex spinner, I just have no desire to go the cheap route with spinners any more.

Those things are better than original equipment.
