[sdiy] I need your knob expertise

[Mattias Rickardsson]

It seems that Alcoswitch are not the only ones selling these knob
mouldings, so someone else might sell them with smaller shaft fittings
unless Alcoswitch already do.

Otherwise, +1 for the shaft reducers, I've used them together with Davies
1900 clone knobs when restoring an old Serge system that had lost several
of its knobs on its petite shafts.
