[media.nai at rcn.com]

Radio Shack also sells knobs that are very similar to the knobs used by
either Moog or MOTM.  They sell them in packs of four.

>> Q2: I read the MOTM uses alcoswitch PK/ES -90B knobs. I am planning to
>> use PK/ES-70B and some PK/ES-60B knobs on my formant, however on some
>> pictures I saw it looks like these look different (apart from size)
>> than the 90B ones.  I can not find a place where I can just order
>> 1 of the 90B ones to look at it myself, so has anyone seen these 3 knobs
>>>> and tell me if they really are the same apart from size as you would
>> expect looking at their product code?
