UREI type knobs - anyone know some cheaper equivalent?

[ln76d]

Am looking for knobs similar to UREI (black plastic + alu top), but without collar.
Anyone knows, especially in europe, something which looks similar?

 

[ln76d]

Is there anybody out there?

We're here - the knobs just ain't

In a similar vein, I am looking for a few of these 1176 input / output knobs

Hairball have these in decent price.
If i count 12  which i need, with all taxes, fees and other  i will have to paid around 100$ for knobs only...

The problem with Hairball is shipping, duty, courier customs clearance fees and 20% VAT on top of the whole lot. By the time a $100 order lands in the UK it's close to being a $200 order

Yes exactly
That's why am looking something cheaper, 100$ for 12 knobs ins't anything exciting.
Anyway knobs looks great am using them in my rev F.

Here's something like this, not cheap, looks weak. This is only other type which i found in europe.

For my needs, without skirt, raytheon knobs are pretty good and similar looking, but unfortunately these are also rare, pricey and mostly for much smaller shaft...

Any other ideas?

I used some of these recently:

Got them from farnell/newark/element14 I think

 

[ln76d]

Pretty good looking but prices not really
Around 4gbp/pc or more.
If i will not find anything else soon, probably i will use for some time these one:

Available in different sizes. I'll be using it in G9. Only disadvantage is that i will need to drill each and mount the blocking screws.
Later i'll probably order from hairball whole set when i will haad to order parts for rev A.
Any other propositions still welcome

well you either do not care and save money or you wil have to pay. its that simple. if you don not care just put on there whatever you have lying around.  otherwise pay the price for prettiness

 

[ln76d]

I think it's obvious - no?  ;D

Currently opening studio, ekectronic service (whole building renovation - all instalations etc.), finishing around 30 projects - so i need to save a little Also much different earnings than in US or UK...
Temporarily I need something which is decent looking.
When i'll be ordering more parts for Rev A from hairball, then it will be more profitable than 12 knobs only.
That's why it need to be decent and cheap and after replacing for proper knobs, these will go for another projects

You are always really helpful.

Why do you even post in this forum?
Is this a channel for your internal problems and rage?

 

[efluon]

Not extremely similar. Nice though:
