[sdiy] Inexpensive Rolandesque spline knobs from Thailand

I just received some knobs ostensibly from Thailand, although they were
shipped from Hong Kong.  They are for spline shafts, have a black ABS
body which matches the black plastic sides of a TR-808 and are
double-shot molded with a visible and tactile indicator bar.

The colours are red, orange, yellow, green and white.  The yellow
indicator bars are slightly more prominent than those of the other
colors.  The red, orange and green indicator bars are somewhat dull in
their color.

They look and feel good to me.   I think they might be of interest to
other people for synthesizer projects.

I am happy to buy more from this supplier.  They are inexpensive - such
as 20 for $6.59 including postage to anywhere.

Does anyone recognise these knobs?  I would like to know the
manufacturer or other suppliers?
