RE: Final Spinner Top Colors!
Wade:
Brax, I'm definitely not an expert on this so take it for what it's worth. I think the type/composition of aluminum has a lot to do with how it looks after being anodized. I have seen two car parts that were polished to a mirror shine get anodized at the same time. One part ended up still looking shiny, and the other looked very dull.

I received my knobs from SlikStik today! A blue skirted model and a red regular model. They are beatiful and substantial and I'm dying to use 'em. Only problem is that while I can remove the knob & shaft assembly from my Tron spinner, I can't figure out how to remove the knob from the shaft. Anyone with experience? Any suggestions?

The knob on the Tron spinner is held on with a spring roll pin, and most likely pretty rusted (I have never seen one that wasn't).
In a post not long ago someone said that they were able to pinch the spring pin together with a pair of needle nose pliers from the underside and work it out that way. I've never been lucky enough to come across one that came out that easy. I've had to spray down the pin with some pentrating oil and let it soak for a few minutes, then tap out the pin with a small punch or nail set.

Thanks! It's oiling at home as we speak. I'm surprised that's how it works, but I guess changing knobs wasn't really a regular maintenance issue.

They would want the knobs to be hard to remove, otherwise every yahoo with an eyeglass screwdriver would be able to swipe the knob...
