Knobs for Bourns

[Jens]

Anybody seen Speedknobs that will fit Bourns-pots?
I´ve just cracked my 4:th speedknob trying to file it up to make it fit properly.

Bournes pots? Split or solid, knurled or smooth, what size?

Can´t remember the specific modelname. I´ll have to check when I get home. Here´s a photo of them atleast.

I had pots like those once and if I remember correctly I just used a small pen knife and took some plastic out of the hole in the knobs until they slid onto the shaft somewhat easily, but still had a snug grip once they were on there.
Never cracked one.

Aight, I´ll give it a try, thanks!

Thats gonna be a ticklish one - getting them to stay on... the solid shaft is fatter than the knurled one.  I'd try Dremel m'self, and then something to sticky them onto the pots.

I may have used a bit of binder paper on one of mine at one time.  ;-)

Maybe some hot glue(hobby kind), or some silicone.  Knobs wouldn't come off easy, but wouldn't be too hard to remove if needed.  Maybe even some plumbers tape. :icon_scratch:
