If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.


Mike Maghakian had them, but unsure if he has anymore.

Ditto it was MM who was selling the Tuning Knobs. ~ RHF

I picked one of these up and it's a nice knob. Nice, heavy metal.
Feels good. What I really need now--and should have thought of
previously--is a nice felt washer to put behind the knob. This should
improve the action of the knob a lot.


Does anyone know of a good source for something like this?- Hide quoted text -

It seems like this would be easy to make for one's self...felt is a
dime-a-dozen at craft and fabric stores, in many different grades.- Hide quoted text -

That's good to know....I'll have to track down a craft store and check
it out. Thanks.

Steve,
An Alternative is those Stick-On Felt-Pads.

Place a few on to the back of Tuning Knob.

Place the Knob on to the Shaft and Position It to where
You have the Right "Feel" then Secure It.
