Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] Possible source of pots and knobs for Simmons SDS9 and others

From: Ewan Colsell <ewanuno@...>
Date: 2017-02-02

google actually has quite a few results for "cliff k85"

octopart seems to have the knobs and caps. (not the grey ones though)

after a proper check ir realised that I only need two grey caps and one knob for my sds9.
this makes it quite hard for me to justify the minimum order of ten knobs
If somebody is doing an order, I'd love to tag along, I'll gladly pay by PayPal or bitcoin for knobs and postage!

Knobs? I thought Ed Rose was the list's main supplier, or is that just
for the caps? :)
A store in my nearest town sells those knobs and caps. I bought for my
SDS-V there... I don't remember the name of the manufacturer, but I
guess Ed knows.
