Fader knob question

[Brando915]

Hey all,

Been lurking here for a little while, and decided I want to try my hand at a DIY controller (I'll start a build thread once I start the process, still need to acquire some of the components). Which brings me to my question:

Where can I find just the knobs/caps for faders? I'd like to have 3 faders in my project: 2 pitch and a crossfader. I picked up the slide pots on allelectronics (the only knob they had that was close to what I wanted was this one and it doesn't mount correctly on the slider). I've also checked Mouser and scoured the almighty Google, but the only ones I could find were replacement parts for Pioneer/Vestax/Rane/etc... that cost more than I'd like to spend.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Don't know for sure if they'll fit, but the DJTT store has these.

The problem is not to find supplier, I know over 20. But the problem is being able to order in small or decent quantity <1,000. Neutrik, Cosmocorp, Alibaba, Rean, Waldorf, Sifam and so on are great.

Have a look @ the regular supplier like Mouser, Jameco, Allied, Digikey, Newark. Or better, check if you have an electronic supplier in your country. Here we have a couple of "overstock" "surplus" reseller.

There is no suppliers of such specific goods as slide potentiometer knobs in my country. Rotary 10k pots and knobs i bought yesterday in local radiomarket, but it seems impossible to find a slide pots and knobs in Belarus.

Thanks for the additional suppliers links, i`ll try to find knobs at Newark

Have a look at Mouser, I know they have an office in Germany and UK.

On your side, also have a look @ Maplin, RS Components (http://www.rs-components.com/index.html)


Depending of the supplier, some may call it Slider Knob instead of Fader knob.

Good luck and keep us posted.
