Ghost trap knob find?

I was looking through pictures of guitar amp knobs, and I came across this:

Black plastic, set screw, silver insert, 1/2" diameter, 9/16" tall.

What do you guys think?

the actual knob has been found i beleive…not sure what it came from though

If that’s not the actual knob, it’s darn close. Good find!

where can we get some?

I’d like some accurate-or-close-ennough of those knobs.

Well ■■■■, what knob is it then? I’d like to get as accurate as I can.

Knobs> Kustom Amplifier - Surplus for the front knobs

Knobs> Miscellaneous - The silver knurled knob?

I’ve been using Venkman 71’s plans (page 24 and page 25) to verify accuracy of measurement with these knobs. Again, they might not be the exact, but they are pretty darn close.

Crap…

I’m in Canada… :S

but I’d be in for 2 of them P-K150 and 1 of them P-K310.

Does anyone have leads on the square ones?

Well, I’m ordering a few just to verify accuracy of the parts. If the parts check out, I’ll order a bulk amount and go easy on the shipping charge for our northern brothers. :cool:

That sounds great!!

let us know how accurate they are, pics would be also welcomed.

Sorry it took me so long to get pics up.

Here are the knobs (in black and silver). The resin knobs are from an eBay vendor.

looks great. I’d be interested in a set, if there’s any way this could happen.

Pic links don’t work

there’s a “0” missing on all names. :S

So what do you guys think?

Yeah. That would be them.

Just so everyone knows those are my parts he’s comparing them to and I’ve expressed my view to him. would have been nice to have been asked first. :roll:

Irri, aren’t you honored to be considered as “the” knob replica supplier for ghost traps? he mentioned its knobs he got on ebay- its not like he’s using your images, he’s using stuff he bought for a comparison. I don’t think there was any bad intentions, might not even know you’re that ebay seller.

borzou99, as I mentioned, I’m definitely in for a set.

I’ll wait for his response thanks.

You mean the black knobs? Are they the accurate ones?

For the record, Irricanian’s resin parts are awesome. When I first got them, I was floored by the accuracy of all his trap parts (vector place, resistors, knobs). In fact, I liked his parts so much, I’ve decided to save them for a better trap that I’m building later this month instead of the foam boad trap I made last Halloween. I personally vouch for Irri’s resin parts. The reason I used his parts for comparison is because I thought the knobs I bought from the guitar shop might be inaccurate. I’m really sorry about the pictures.

When you say a set, do you mean just the two black knobs?

I do know know anything about the silver knob. Come to think of it, I don’t know why I bought it. I think they might be GB 1 style knobs, just in a silver coloring. I only hope a higher geek than thou art can educate me in light of my ignorance. :cool:

:oops: Sorry if I came off as being defensive, my sincere apologies borzou99. I just get a little protective of my business interests. This is one of my full time jobs. Gotta stop reading posts before my morning coffee :slight_smile:

I thank you for the endorsements of my parts

I’d be in for 2 black and one silver. I need a metal knob and while the silver is less then accurate, I think its a good addition - anodized aluminium is not as easy to replicate then black bakelite or plastic… the bad knurling but proper material would be close ennough for me.
