[sdiy]Cheap knob source

[The Peasant]

Hello fellow synth geeks!

I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions for 
inexpensive knobs, it was very helpful. Based on some of 
the suggestions that I received, I believe that I have 
found a solution.

My ex-wife used to like those wooden beaded car seat covers 
that are supposed to be more comfortable. When one would 
inevitably wear out I would save all the beads, like the 
incurable packrat that I am. I have hundreds of these!

I found that I could easily drill these out to 1/4 inches, 
attach them to the potentiomenter shaft with glue or a set 
screw, and pop a hole plug into the hole on top. See the 
results here:

These will work very well for my project, so it's back to 
work!

Take care,
Doug
