<div dir="ltr">Just trying to spec out some costs on doing a reSEMble clone, and damn — these are expensive. Almost $7 a knob with indicator, more with larger coarse /cutoff / resonance skirted knobs: $200+ in knobs alone. FWIW, These are what Tom Oberheim used on the original SEM. </div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">Does anyone know of any suitable (with 95% accuracy) clone / lookalikes?</div>
