Perfect time of year for the release of those first two  :P .  Too bad you didn't release it yesterday.  

I'd like to see that new design in black, personally.

Shmokes,

   I can also get them done in Black. I decided to get those three colors done first because of the many requests we have had for these colors. Anyway, if there is some sort of demand we can surely have black done as well.

SirPoonga,

   Sorry about that, we were actually just gathering that information to post on our website. We just received the final tops late this evening and will have that info for everyone tomorrow.

I will tell you what I know so far, both tops are manufactured to fit a 1/4" shaft so indeed they will fit any of Oscar
Thank You

Of course I am just assuming that this would be enough room to make the connection on the bottom microswitch.

Correction, leaf switch.

Anyways, could yellow be a possible color?  (My cabinet is going to be loosely pacman themed, a yellow spinner would fit perfectly :) )

Also, would you think about making one of these new ones, without the skirt?  In other words, like the other knob but the round tops.  Just an idea.


Very nice BTW.

I've never been a fan of brushed Aluminum. What about polished aluminum with a clear anodizing? A chrome looking knob would look great on alot of cabinets around here....

I think the un-anodized version of the skirted knob will be polished aluminum. It certainly looks shiny enough in the picture to be polished!

FYI, all of the clear un-anodized tops including the new one are high polished not brushed  :)

PRICE????

The price for the new aluminum skirted tops (un-anodized) will be $1.00 more than our standard top. For the colors including the standard design and the new-skirted design (any color) will add $1.00 to their original cost. All this information and ordering will be on our website early this evening.

Any idea what the shipping cost for 1 knob would be to Canada? What shipper do you use? Is USPS an option? (UPS is murder at the border with brokerage charges)
