New source of retro knobs

[pvision]

I've found a new source of knobs ideal for anyone working on retro designs.  Some are rather expensive, some are OK.  Some of them may be recognisable to people in the USA but they're all new to me!

You'll find them here - I've picked out a few favourites below:

Nice selection - but be aware that mounting is unfortunately NOT standard on kitchen/auto appliances. And many of the knobs does not offer details about this, as they're obviously intended for original use only..

But fun to look through alright - great inspiration for new weird designs.....
