Modded my knob
« on: January 21, 2004, 01:02:48 AM »
Er, knobs. On the AD-20.

First I used Plastic Weld to glue plastic spacers from the hardware store on top of the existing knobs.


Then I just added a couple of hardware store knobs on to those spacers. The spacers made them long enough to use the set screws effectivley.


They have a nice feel and I'm happy with them. Probably won't see field use for a couple of weeks.  

Anyone done this?
It was pretty easy, but we'll see how it holds up over time. I considered sinking a little wood screw into the spacer and old knobs, but decided against it.

Yeah, I used a little trick I learned in a marketing class back in college. Seemed to work!

That box looks familiar!!  Nice mod, that looks much better than when I sent it.

Thanks. I'm not done yet either. Next will be the miniplug input. I have parts on the way. There's room just to the left of the knobs.
I may also try to incorportate a built-in battery box after that, but I'm not sure if I'll bother. Might be fun. I like doing these little projects.
