Source of small pot knobs - UK ?

[N Cook]

The small ones found on audio mixers , especially for the small slplined
shaft ones of about 4.6mm. A nice random selection would be nice , to match
up for missing ones.
Just a brand name or generic term for them would help googling.

OT: Anyone tried the son of Google - Cuil.com.? Beautiful black text on
black background for the searchbox is what I get on Firefox.

Canford Audio - I'd guess. At a price.

Just looked - it is a white searchbox using IE6 or Firefox 2.0.0.16.
Agreed the rest of the page (and text) is funeral black.

Searchbox is OK on Netscape 7.2, but results pages have no vert. scrollbar
so
one can't view anything but the top of the page; also results extend past
the right margin and there is no horiz. scrollbar so that area is
unviewable
as well.

Index can't be nearly as large as Google's: I got zero hits on keyword
searches
designed to produce hits for my site, which are properly returned by a
Google
search.

Looks as though I'll have to continue packing out small 1/4 inch knobs with
2 layers of electrician's 0.6mm thick earth wire sleeving. Cut axially and
both coincident for D section ones and overlapped for round ones. Bot very
professional but holds together ok on the splines without slipping


Firefox 2
I had, options/load images, disbled which somehow makes the searchbox black.
Sometimes only top of page is visible, sometimes all

Most are proprietary I'm afraid. You could look at what Sifam have to
offer.

I get the impression proprietary. Yes, these look the sort of ones

http://www.sifam.com/knobsSelector.asp?cat=Knobs_Push_On
No specific mention of the few random ones I clicked on , for 4.6mm spline
shafts but certainly some for 4mm , presumably round or D, so promising

Of the thousands of salvaged knobs I've collected over the years not a
single one for 4.6mm . Unfortunately all mixers that come my way for repair,
get returned, and no scrappers.

FWIW, they crawled me but didn't get any content (/robots.txt permits
indexing of most of the site content):
