4mm Knob Adaptors

[KingBollock]

I bought my Peavey T-Max 500 about 15 years ago. I bought it used and what knobs it did have didn't match. Unfortunately the pots have 4mm shafts, and to buy replacement knobs from Peavey would cost about £30. You can buy adaptors for about 25p each, but then there's P&P, too. I have just put in an order for a bunch of cheap, but nice looking, knobs for my amp and some DIY pedals, so I needed to figure something out because they're for 6mm shafts. And then I had an idea... Aquarium air tubing! It has a 4mm inner diameter and 6mm outer, it is also quite grippy. I got a metre of it for £1, I suppose I could have asked for half a metre.

Anyway, it works a treat, so I thought I would share.

That's a neat workaround.

I was expecting something completely different from the title, looks like I came to the wrong place.

Seriously though thats Nice!

I have a load of that tubing stashed somewhere, and my old Peavy has 4mm shafts with cracked and glued knobs on too
