Anyone interested in buying some stingray radio knobs?

[tommorichards]

Basically im after some of the classic radio knobs used on the pre eb stingrays, like the one shown here from gareths 77 stingray bass (for sale)



I have found a source, but as they only ship from the states, shipping is £16 flat rate. So as these are £3.50 a piece, unless i order a few, it will be rather expensive to do so. So, im wondering if anyone who is doing a replica project, or wants the classic look, wants to add in to the shipment so we can all split the cost of shipping. This also saves me going a second route of buying a load, then selling them on here.

The link for them is here: [url="http://uk.farnell.com/ehc-electronic-hardware/eh71-2c2s/round-knob-with-line-indicator/dp/2057013"]http://uk.farnell.co...ator/dp/2057013[/url] (note that the item is on the uk store, but located in usa)

Heres a pic anyway
And as you can see, i think that they are pretty much the exact same ones.

So if anyone is interested, pm me with how many you are after, so i can work out a total unit cost.


End message.

I'll take 3 please - had exactly the same thought after seeing the above bass for sale ;0)

Not sure if this helps, but (these guys) http://www.cliffuk.co.uk/products/knobs/rotary.htm have something that looks pretty close. Their part K7C. Worth a go possibly?

Looks like you have to order a lot at a time for that site. Not sure what you can do with 200 knobs (but I bet ped does).

[tommorichards]

says minimum 1000 order. Thats a tad high

For anyone who's not already aware, radio knobs are only recorded as appearing on some of the basses with main components dated 1976.

Tommorichards - from what you've said the total cost of your 3 knobs is less than £30 (unless I've misunderstood) - doesn't sound that bad to me?

Hi,

I just bought some of these: https://www.ebay.it/itm/352179961862

To clarify, they are the EHC EH71-1C2S model and should be the right size.
