I just picked up a RE-201. knock on wood, it works great. however the big knob to select what setting you're using was MIA from this one...you can still change settings and whatnot, i'd just like the knob to go with it. the post for the knob is fully rounded, and it takes a little force to change settings, so i'd like a nos/replacement knob. anyone know a good parts place for that? I checked eBay/google to no avail. halp :?:

that's purdy..I think the 10 euro shipping to usa will kill it for me though. I was pointed to orbitelectronix(.com), they said they have similar, but smaller replacement knobs, with shipping i believe it was $9...anyone have experience with these guys?

What about Mammoth Electronics? I've had good experiences with them.

I think I've found my next guitar's volume knob.

ok, after finding some good reviews and spending a decent amount of time talking shop with the folks at orbit electronix, i went with them. I'll report back if they're any good. they also service the echoplex and have (reportedly) really nice tape cartridges for them
