Looking For A Trace Knob Insert

[KevB]

Got a 1 x 15 Trace combo (GP7 series) and I noticed last night at a gig that the green disc on the master volume knob had dropped out, can't find it in the car so it may have gone doing the load in. Anyone have a spare or know where I could pick one up, nothing on eBay at first glance. Bizarrely I once had one of these very things in a spares box and I think I passed it on to someone on the old forum who was desperate for one. I know they are only cosmetic but it would be nice to get it back to original looks as its in very good nick otherwise.

I'd contact Trace themselves. They're a very helpful company!

You will pay more for the shipping than for the knob cap but it's the price for having a all-original gear

Thanks for the link, if no one on here comes up with one I'll probably order 2 or 3 of red and green to make it worthwhile then I'll always have spares. On closer inspection they only seem to have black available! Back to the drawing board. Loiter around gigs and thieve one off someone else? Nah, couldn't do that.

You're right, i haven't noticed that... send them a e-mail, it's possible they could have a spare one somewere because they are a service center for Trace gear and probably have some used parts laying arround.
good luck

Two knobs, I should be so lucky

Mail britishaudioservice! They could have used ones stored that they can't sell as new!

The knobs, and thus the caps, are manufactured by a swiss company called Ritel. They simply call the knob "Pfeilknopf mit Spannzange" and the cap is called "Deckel prismaform". Maybe try emailing them, you do still need to know the diameter needed.
