Hi all. Searched and didn't see this anywhere...A Scott 340b came across my bench recently. I got in some 7591s the other day and finally tore into it. After all the common cap/rectifier stuff, seems it's going to be ok. So, I might as well make it completely useable. Anyone have any tips on where I can find inside/outside aftermarket knobs? They don't have to be Scott, or matching or whatever. This thing is case-less right now, and I'll probably make a new one as trying to buy just an original wood case would be prohibitively expensive these days. So it doesn't matter if the knobs match anyway.
Edit: Also, what do you guys like to use for lubricant for old control pots?
Thanks,
Loren

Pardon my ignorance: what is an inside/outside knob? Picture?
If you are looking for concentric knobs try Selco. E

The ignorance is all mine, and yes, that is the term I was searching for. I figured someone would know what I meant, knowing the 340b (and so many other integrated amps from that era). Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check them out tonight.
Best pot cleaner is DeOxit D5. Use a little at a time, exercise, and repeat if needed.

Concentric knobs will be really hard to find, especially non-metric types.
Maybe check ebay for somebody parting a Scott out.
