Yeah, that does look like a stunt trap to me. The trap handle is at an bent angle towrds Ray’s gut, and the pedal is stuck to the trap with no stral holding it in place. On my trap, when the pedal is attached via the Ide cable, it dangles loose and bangs on the trap a lot… It fits over the trap neatly, though…

Here’s what I believe is the propper first movie front round black knob along with the rest of the knobs:

It’s mounted on a replica first movie background trap.

Oh and that [tear drop knob](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/trap-tear-drop-knob) is an original skirted (dial) knob . Wish I could find more but using the process described earlier in this thread I have given a few tear drops a new skirt on life.

I did the exact same thing with mine, and once the modifications are done it’s pretty much seamless. 🙂

does anyone know the correct size of the teardrop knob from the front of the tip to the back of it? I have a real raytheon knob but I’m unsure if it’s the right size.

It’s milspec so they should be close to the same size.

There are larger and smaller versions of the knobs but they’re obviously wrong when compaired to the trap.

Simple questions like this are easily answered by perusing the reference section of this very website.

Is this be a big douche day or something?

Yeah, I’m aware of them and their multiple inaccuracies. I’d rather hear from someone else who has the actual knobs. Thanks.

Actually, it totally is.

Those measurements were taken off a screen used trap.

They’re also the correct size, hence me posting them.

You’re welcome.

Well, you get the golden tampon award then.

Yeah, a screen used GB II trap. No need to thank you because I’m just disregarding you now. I’ll get my info elsewhere.

Not only that but off a cast soft foam trap so the measurements are soft.

From tip to back is 1.040" about .0225" shy of 1/16" . the round part should be .710" about .040" shy of 3/4" .
