Re: MOTM style knobs for d-shaft

2005-01-09 by Jim Carlile

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.
