  • Graphic EQ slider knob thingies for Carvin VTX100

    Got one of these that has some of the little slider knob/handle whatchamacallits missing. What is a good source for these? OK with replacing all if they are cheap, only ones I can find on Ebay are about $5 each, and those won't match the ones I have. Pot knobs are $5 for ten, can't believe nobody makes these at all. Maybe just don't know what to call them. Thoughts?

    Look through places like this and you may get lucky. Perhaps the one I posted might be close?

      Try googling "slide potentiometer caps" or "slide potentiometer knobs"

        Also trying to match the one's you already have may make it even tougher or impossible. Sometimes I look to replace all of the knobs with something vintage looking and to match each other nicely.

          If I have a match, great, otherwise I go for a whole new set to match each other.

          Good to know where these things can be had:
          https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail...fbg6vh4cgkg%3d

          I recall buying them cheap, and I have a bag of them somewhere. Not sure when I can find them.

          Mouser used to have more selection, but now I only see the concave style as used on large format mixers.

          Maybe:
          UNMARKED - 6-011 - Hardware, knob. For slide pots. Package of 10.

          ACME - 6-007 - Hardware, knob. For slide pots. Package of 12.

          Custom - 8-482-3 - Hardware, knobs. Black. Package of 10.

            Or, you could just call Carvin. They're probably trying to get rid of stuff right now anyway.

              Man oh man. Usually, but for some reason this time that never occurred to me.

                Huh, I hadn't even heard about Carvin going out of business.

                Thanks for all of the replies, didn't know about some of those sites and it looks like they might have what I need.
