looking for small, cheap knobs

[Chris MacDonald]

I actually ordered a few of these knobs (5164-1900) from Mouser last
year.  They are identical to the classic Serge knob except that they do
not have an indicator line.  I sent a request to Mouser asking how much
it would be to get some with the line. As I recall the result was that
they could be custom ordered but they would be over three U.S. dollars
each and there was some kind of minimum order.  Don't know what
techam.com has though.
