Any news about these knobs ... I think I am not the only one is searching for?

Happy new year to all!
 
This one sold, but they're pretty common if you keep an eye out. That'll get you black and gray ones at least. Maybe some krylon would do the trick for the red one?

I am searching for these knobs, too
There is a member of this forum (electrochronic) that is trying to find a way to realize them ... but until now no news!
Happy new year to all!
 
Well, not really, I have already started designing the PCBs and am in contact with grayhill for the rotary switches.
However the knobs would be a really nice touch

I really want a bunch of those, want to build a TG12412 clone

and the lack of 'original-looking' knobs stops you?  :)
 
Any one have $10,000 - $20,000 USD to invest , then we can get the knobs done right away , without the cash its not going to happen. Inflation keeps driving up the cost of the knobs for manufacturing. I have 3D blueprints done and have a company that wants to do them , but no investors to get it done , its also a risky venture because the demand is niche audio market only. Who is willing to sit on $10K worth of knob inventory for the next 5-7 years ?
 
Hi Mike, I have contacted Chandler but they said to me that don't sell only the knobs
 
Strange.  They sold them a couple years ago.  Did you speak to a woman there?  She is a bit gruff and unhelpful.  I made an order for a few hundred knobs and zippo for a quantity discount.

Last year I sent them an email and they replied to me that they didn't sell the knobs
I asked for 30 knobs ...
 
IEC Monaco makes the old stockli knobs. http://www.iec-monaco.com/classic.htm
Got a quote for a project years ago and it was around 4.00 Euro each for 100 pcs.
 
if you are a little firm with CAD (or a friend), you can design the knobs and let them build via 3D printing. (Shapeways for example) The material they use is strong enough in the meantime.

So, perhaps a group buy?
