Hi, I am searching for good looking knobs. I am in the middle of a restoration of a Yamaha RM 804, so I need 70 knobs for 6mm d-shaft. Thanks for any offer.

rock soderstrom said:Hi Ian, thanks for your advice. I have seen this site before, I like the Davies 1900 style knobs, the price and the colours are cool.
Unfortunately the indicator of these knobs shows into wrong direction! As can you see in the attached picture I need knobs with the direction indicator 90 degrees ccw.
My favorites on the thonk site are these Sifam style knobs, "black large skirted"

The good thing with these knobs is, that you can define you own indicator direction, because the caps for the knobs a separate.
The bad thing is, this solution is quite expensive. I would spend three times the money I have spent for the mixer!
Thats the reason I am asking the guys over here for offers. Perhabs someone got an old, defective mixer (from that era?) and I can buy the knobs of it.
Cheers

The Thonk prices are very good. I just purchased 100 off the small skirted but with 1/8 inch D direct from Sifam and they were only a few pence cheaper than the Thonk price.

Pointer is set to 9oclock looking at the front/top of the knob with the D shape flat part facing down.
They are used and are a bit worn, but you could have them very cheap.
They are green, red and blue on top but colors are also worn.
