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. -S |

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? --- End quote --- 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. NoBonus |

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. |
