[sdiy] Knobs

[Kyle Stephens]

I'd be game for this, but I'm more a fan of the PKES style knobs.

http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/746286-switch-knob-fluted-855-w-skirt-pkes70b1-4.html

Is there room for that option, or am I on my own? I wanted to propose my own group buy for that style, and seen what came of it.


On a tangent, anyone know why are knobs so darn pricey? Even in bulk they can be as much as the pots they're attached to :P. Just a necessity they can charge premium for?
