Anyone know sources for out-of-the-ordinary control knobs...?
« on: October 23, 2010, 02:57:43 PM »
Does what it sez on the tin...

I remember seeing 8-ball controls on something Gary (gweimer) was selling a while back... they looked interesting... no interested in skulls or dice...

Just not a lot of choice...

I bought Gary's bass, not using the 8 balls (one pair).  Pay the postage and they're yours.

I am thinking that a pair of 8-ball or dice knobs would be fun on my black & chrome Bronco.

Here's a few sources for interesting knobs, but these are more along the vintage, reproduction vintage, and military surplus lines...

Joe - spotted a gold "chicken" on one of those that may suit the PC (suitably garrish... ;D) and cheers for the other links Shadow...
