SSL Knobs

[Ermz]

Hey guys,

I need a set of SSL-style knobs for my new GSSL build. Could you point me to any online retailers selling good ones?

hi emrin,

i checked our local electronic-store - looks like the knobs who ssl uses are from RITEL.
knob, 15mm diameter, for 6mm-axis, in grey or glossy-gray: click
and the blue knob-cover: click

i would check some electronic-online-stores in australia, i`m sure you will find these or similar knobs.

cheers!

Thanks a bunch. I haven't had much like finding these back home.

The 'spindle' - is that effectively the shaft size? I just have to make sure they'll fit my pots properly.

yes, spindle is the shaft-diameter. these are 6mm, but a lot of potentiometers have 6,35mm, so these knobs would not fit if you use pots with 6,35mm.
i order in this shop around twice per week, let me know if i should order some for you (shipping-costs shouldnt be much).

Ermz, would you mind posting your gssl schemes?
(Or is it giraffe?)

Actually.. Im gonna chime in here... I'm building one at the mo...
but maybe that's another thread!

I just checked whether I could order direct, and they don't ship to Australia. So if you could do this, mate, that would be absolutely awesome. Let me know what the cost would total to, and I can paypal it over whenever you're ready.

Turns out my pots take 6mm knobs, so that size is fine. Ideally I'd like to try the matte light grey knob: https://www.distrelec.com/ishopWebF.../artView/is/true/and/productNr/is/261520.html

With the cover you suggested (shame the blue doesn't come in matte for some reason): https://www.distrelec.com/ishopWebF.../artView/is/true/and/productNr/is/261418.html

The knobs khe sent me are absolutely awesome, but it turns out my pots are 1/4", and didn't take that size.

Does anybody have any links to very similar, if not identical knobs in that size?

They were literally perfect

I ordered mine here:

15mm Grey knob for 6.35mm/0.25" shaft and he had many cap colors available too. Prices and the postages were good.
