Title: AD-20 Knobs
Post by: John Kelly on August 12, 2003, 10:35:39 AM: I saw somewhere that there are knobs you can get for the AD-20 that are bigger, and hence much easier to work with. Anyone know where I can find these? I hate the little ones that are on there now...

+T for the advice!

Post by: RobC on August 26, 2003, 11:40:17 PM: There was a AD-20 on sale on ebay a little while ago that had the perfect knobs on it, I was going to email the seller to ask him where he got the knobs but I forgot my ebay username and password and was too lazy to start a new account (plus It may be good for me not to have an active ebay account)

Ive tried ratshack for knobs but they didn't have any that I thought would be good.

I would love to know if anyone finds the perfect knobs

its a long shot but they look the same to me.

Post by: Nick Culbreth on August 28, 2003, 12:46:19 AM: i'd check out mouser, i just checked their catalog and they have 4 full pages of knobs... i'm sure you can find one which will do the trick.

(if you've got the catalog handy check out pages 900 - 904)
