Sourcing Knobs
Pardon the crappy pic quality. Can anyone suggest where I might find knobs like these? Black barrel knobs with marks on top and side.

Re: Sourcing Knobs
Cool. Thanks for that.
My pots are smooth shaft, so something with a set screw would probably be preferable. But I hadn’t looked at eBay so I’ll poke around there. Thanks

Re: Sourcing Knobs
Just do an eBay search for black amplifier knobs. You'll find something.

Re: Sourcing Knobs
To me those look like typical Fender style "Brownface" or "barrel" amp knobs. I can get replicas locally for about a euro a piece, but I think they're 1/4 inch or 6.3mm solid post screw on style, so you might need a brass potentiometer adapter to get them to sit properly. Shouldn't be a big investment.

Re: Sourcing Knobs
That's a good point. They do look like brownface knobs. They seem a bit taller or narrower but I think that's an illusion created by their reflections in the chrome.

Re: Sourcing Knobs
I get my flying saucer knobs from here, but they have something similar, though the pic is notably bad...
