Does anyone know where I can purchase knobs like the ones on this Throbak Overdrive?

They're a type of Davies knob. I think you can get them at Mouser.

That's what I thought too, however, the ones I saw at Mouser did not appear to have the white dots on top.

I've been looking for those knobs for ages. The only place I've seen them is Banzai music (http://www.banzaimusic.com/Sun-Dial-Knob.html), but they're like $1.20 per knob! Plus their shipping is ridiculous b/c they're not in the US.

mjcyates

Thanks, those would be the ones. I don't mind the $1.20 per knob but don't know if I can handle the shipping. Surely someone in the states carries these.

Your post has motivated me to locate some more obscure knobs. I may start at Beavis' and work from there

I am 99% certain that those are Mouser p/n 45KN015-GRX. I have used a lot of those as they used to be about $.50 each in quantity. Link:

I ordered three of these from mouser. They just showed up today and they are indeed the knobs in question. Thanks!

Do they have set screws? I am not seeing that they do on Mouser.

mjcyates

Yes they have set screws. The quality is on par with the Davies products. Very nice knobs.
