[sdiy] Taiwan Knobs - Emu Modular

[Rob Keeble]

Hi,
500 19mm diameter black and natural aluminium knobs were just 470 US
Dollars, after shipping from Taiwan to UK but before import taxes..
You can see these knobs on an E-mu Systems Dual LFO module here:

Usual shop price in UK/USA is 2x - 4x times this.

but they were machined aluminium I guess?
In that case it's reasonable. I meant bakelite knobs require big order
because they need to make the tooling, while aluminium ones is just another
design file for CNC.

500 knobs isn't a killing lot, I even have more pots than this.
I have to think about aluminium ones.

Can you tell me what they charged for those 500?
