Default Knobs

Anybody know some good sources for knobs?
I am restoring a mixing console and would like about 100 comfortable and visually appealing knobs.
Thanks

Sounds silly - but how about another mixer?

They are often available in 'too poor to restore' condition, and you'd have some nicely colour-coded knobs, and probably some useful connectors etc. too.
Ask your local music store if they have anything cheap.

That doesn't sound silly at all. Probably cheaper as well

Sure, they look nice, but how do they sound?

Solid they are, and made out of non magnetic brass.
Why not try them out?

Well, you know, CDs aren't magnetic, but that doesn't stop people from selling and other people from buying demagnetizers for them...

I was about to write something about expensive knobs, then I realized Sweden still used Kronor instead of Euros. Unfortunately my Swedish is not up to snuff - do they export Stateside?


Thanks,

The type of knobs you want are available from Selco or Rean/Neutrik.
