WTB Metal knob set for 33609

[Potato Cakes]

Hello, everyone,

I'm completing a 33609 build and I'm trying to find some aluminum knobs for the controls to make it look like the metal knob version. I've found one place that has something close to what I'm after, but they are only 4mm shafts and I would need 1/4" and 6mm. Worst case I could drill them out but I would check here first to see if anyone happens to have to have some or can point me to a supplier.

Thanks!

Paul

Will these do?

The one on the top is plastic inside, aluminium shell. 11mm diameter for 6mm D shaft. Pointer line options are black, red, green, blue.

The one on the bottom is solid aluminium 15mm diameter with grub screw for 1/4" shaft. Pointer line options are  black and red.

Not quite what I'm looking for. I'm after something like this:

But with cap instead of black.

Thanks!

Have you already browsed through digikey? They have a very large selection of aluminum knobs by Kilo International, I know this is not exactly what you are looking for but as an example: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/kilo-international/ML-90-3-7/226-3028-ND/305260

Here's the whole catalog by Kilo: https://www.digikey.com/products/en/hardware-fasteners-accessories/knobs/568?k=Kilo%20International

I have looked through the Kilo line, and they make nice stuff, but it needs to be like the Mentor style with the collet and cap. I may be just customizing their product.

Thanks!

sorry to revive a long gone thread but do you have any info on who manufactures these?

Chia-Shin In Taiwan. I purchase directly from them.

However, I do not mean to pitch for a sale, but they have a minimum order quantity of 500 pcs of each type. So, if you are looking for a smaller quantity I can happily help you out.

I have black and red pointer types on 1/4" shaft and, black, red, green and blue pointer types on 6mm D shaft.

I wound up getting the Mentor knobs and modifying Elma caps from Don-Audio. The result looked exactly as what I was trying to achieve. I believe this is where I got them:

https://www.conrad.com/en/p/mentor-...odised-o-x-h-20-mm-x-15-mm-1-pc-s-183966.html

Rapid Online also has them but they are listed as 4mm shafts. I believe this is an incorrect listing as the part number is only 6mm.

I could not find anyone who had the blue caps with the indicator line that went with these knobs so I got Elma caps from Don-Audio for 20mm knobs and had to remove some material and apply a very small amount of adhesive to get them to stay in place. A bit too much to get a cap that I am led to believe is a standard part from Mentor but I gave up looking.

Thanks!
