JC: Gary is working on them. The protypes match identically! I compared the one he sent me to the original Rickenbacker 3000 non-lettered knobs and the new Rickenbacker knobs, and other than looking less worn, they are perfect!!! Get ahold of him and order 100 or so. The more we all order, the lower the price gets. I think he is waiting to see if we can get a group order of 500 or so to get the best deal.

Now is the time to contact me if you plan to get in on this Cosmo knob order! So far, I've gotten orders for almost 200, and I'm thinking that I should go ahead and get 500 to bump the discount down. I get the feeling that there are a lot of you out there who would like to refurbish a rig or two, and I think that these are the best replacements currently available. For those of you who are interested in the smaller knobs used on the 150-250 series, I'm sending info to Deb so she can see if any of the knobs they make in this style are the proper size. There is a minimum order, although it was only 40 pieces for the larger knobs. If we find a match, then I could order these at the same time, and save some shipping. I'm going to wait for another week or so before making a decision and placing an order, so if you're considering this and haven't already contacted me, then please do so at: gary@tranceaudio.com GH

Kustom Knob Update: I've placed the order today (6-11) for the Kustom knobs from Cosmo. This order is for 500 knobs; they currently have 400 in stock for immediate shipment, and will supply the additional 100 after the next molding run, in approximately 6 weeks. The price has risen very slightly since the last quote, to $.72. There will also be approximately $10 worth of shipping/handling to get the knobs to me, making a new total cost per knob of $.74 I'm not going to add any mark-up to this, and each of you will pay the actual shipping charge for your order, whatever that may be. I'm planning to ship via UPS unless anyone has a preference; let me know. I'll be sending them a check tomorrow, and we should have the first shipment in a week or so; I'll keep you all informed through the web board. My inquiry concerning the smaller knobs used in the 250 series was interesting; the knob that Deb thought was the closest to these is not available from them in this particular style. There is an alternate that is a little shorter that is available, and they will be sending me samples of these to see if they might be acceptable to those of you who are interested. More on this later. gh

Alright, here we go! If you want any of the SMALLER knobs for the 150/250/300 etc, style heads (effects knobs), then get your order to Gary Hull at gary@tranceaudio.com And, please read this following statement: THE SMALLER KNOBS WILL BE NOT QUITE AS TALL AS THE ORIGINALS. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY WILL NOT STICK OUT AS FAR. THE DIFFERENCE, SIDE-BY-SIDE TO THE ORIGINALS WILL BE NOTICEABLE. TO AVOID THIS, PLEASE ORDER ENOUGH TO REPLACE ALL, I REPEAT ALL, OF THE SMALL KNOBS ON THAT HEAD TO THE NEW ONES!! Save your old ones for the next head you acquire, or post them for sale on the classified page. There, you have been warned. So, calculate how many smaller knobs you need and let Gary know. You can also CC me in case Gary loses the order info. Thanks! Now, get counting! Kustom Blues

Do you still have the knobs to fit the 200B-2 heads? If you do please email me the price of them and shipping to Newnan. Ga. I need about 10 of them. If you are out, when are you going to take the next order? Thanks, Bob, another Kustom nut!

I tried ordering the Rickenbacker knobs from Wichita, and found they don't carry them anymore- Mike :-( << We no longer deal with the Rickenbacker company. Jon Ray, Wichita Band Instrument Co./E.M. Shorts Guitars >> http://www.wichitaband.com

Yup, they are no longer a Ric dealer...... You can order directly from Rickenbacker. Check their web site. Also, allparts has them too. Basically any Ric dealer can order them for you. Deb

I already posted in another thread, but if you still have these knobs and if they fit my Amp, I would like to purchase two.

I need two knobs for my Kustom Lead-III from 1977. It has a silver panel/plate behind the knobs. You can do a google-pictures search for Kustom Lead-III to see, what they are supposed to look like.

I allready tried Fender skirted knobs (for Blackface and Silverface) but they do not really look the same.

Thanks in advance!
