Subject: Knob Replacements for the AN1x

From: elson@...
Date: 2015-06-02

I'm not writing about how to replace the (totally cheap) plastic knobs that came stock with your AN1x, but where you can find better replacement knobs for them.


The knobs are 1/4" half moon-style knobs. If you can find a set of 10 of them somewhere, just pop out the old ones and pop the new ones in.


I found a couple of nice black rubber knobs that give a nice grip when you turn them. I actually got them for free from the NAMM show a couple years ago -- one DJ company was giving them away as ways to dress up one's mixer. But I couldn't find 10 of those that matched, so I just grabbed two and used them for the volume and the matrix selection knob. The 8 parameter knobs are still stock.


I've taken pics of the ones in question, as well as a pic of one currently handing volume control duties. 

They are in the Photos section of this Yahoogroup: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/AN1x-list/photos/albums/524176017


I'd like to find 8 more of those knobs that I found so I can complete the knobs on the front panel, or at least find a source to get 10 knobs of a different but similar style.
