Actually, I recently got an exceptionally good deal on them. I got 100 for
99.00 about 2 or 3 months ago. I cannot remember now (thinking I would never
need to buy them again). But, it was someone on the list that directed me
to the deal. I'll try to hunt down my receipt. They were the exact same
knobs I got from Newark in the same packaging.

Yep, good old Tyco! Buy a company, jack up prices 20-40%. I used to pay 62
cents each. Now, in
10,000 (!) pieces they are like $1.20.
Newark is about the only "catalog" place that has them.
