Subject: Re: MOTM style knobs for d-shaft

Thanks for the tip. I'll see if the standard MOTM knob fits on an
Octave CAT and lines up properly.. that would be nice. These
particular knobs are the same style wise, but don't have a set
screw. Instead they have a little metal insert inside them that
keeps it to a d-shaft. Some of these pieces are corroded and the
knobs don't really stay on well, not too mention they are all
scratched up.. thats why I'm looking for replacements.
