I just cannot afford OG SEM‘s at the price they are commanding these days. Not that Tom sees any of that money anyway. I don’t know why I sold the one I bought back in 2005 for something like $300 — really kicking myself on that one.</div><div><br></div><div>Some more searches turned up the following</div><div><a href="https://groupdiy.com/threads/elma-classic-collet-knobs.79725/">https://groupdiy.com/threads/elma-classic-collet-knobs.79725</a></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.don-audio.com/navi.php?JTLSHOP=ca005bf583d885281708f96c999cfa14&suchausdruck=Elma+Classic+Collet+Knob">https://www.don-audio.com/navi.php?JTLSHOP=ca005bf583d885281708f96c999cfa14&suchausdruck=Elma+Classic+Collet+Knob</a></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.newark.com/elma/020-3520/knob-14-5mm/dp/01M9603?CMP=AFC-OP">https://www.newark.com/elma/020-3520/knob-14-5mm/dp/01M9603?CMP=AFC-OP</a></div><div><div style="display: block;" class=""><br></div></div><div>From what I can tell, purchasing one complete knob with a “beak” indicator involves buying three parts, the black glossy cap, the black glossy shaft, and the black glossy “beak” indicator at the bottom.
