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

jesper,

I just need two grey caps, my sds9 isn't going to a museum anytime soon, so the colour match isn't that important.

do you a have knob too?

name you price! and I'll send you a payment for postage and beer!

I have a couple of caps (green, blue, grey I think) from a set I bought
on Ebay to restore a SDS-8. It depends on how picky one is with matching
the colours. The green and blue can differ quite a lot over the years...
