Hello Tom,

Do you know the exact dimensions of this knob?  In particular, I'm looking 
for some very narrow knobs that fit 1/4" shafts.  Do you know the width of 
the knob at its widest point?

If anybody has a suggestion for an alternative knob that might satisfy my 
requirements, please let me know.  I am adding another aux send onto each 
channel strip of my Yamaha RM2408 mixing board, and I need to fit the knob 
into a very small area.  The smaller the knob I use, the easier it will be 
maneuver my fingers around the knobs and switches in that part of the console 
strip.  I'm using some very small (around 10mm) Clarostat PCB-mount pots that 
have 1/4" shafts.  These pots just barely fit into an unused area of the 
existing channel PCB.  Any ideas?
