[sdiy] Rean P570-H knobs from Rapidonline.com

[Tom Bugs]

Interestingly on the Re'an knobs -- word was, earlier in the year, that 
Neutrik was closing all Re'an knob production..

But then recently I saw that Rapid was again offering them and when I 
asked my contact they said:
"We now have an alternative for these which is why they are still 
displayed on the website. We discontinued the line because they had been 
discontinued by the supplier however now we have an alternative this has 
been reinstated."

I'm pretty sure that there are other companies making similar knobs 
(perhaps even clones?) but it is strange that these ones are still/again 
sold as Re'an given the back story.

Unclear, babble, but it is good that they're available.
