February 26, 200719 yr OK I confess - this bug has bitten me badly and I now want to build my own pit (an AH-64D). so can anyone please help where I can get the small number (22 or so) of the military style knobs - the small grey knobs and the pointers (both with the black line and a white outline) that I need please?Preferably without having to order one thousand of the blasted things! :-)Toggle switches and rockers I have on order from RS Electronics...Cheers
February 27, 200719 yr Aerospace knobs, military or otherwise, are hard to come by. A few people have cast copies and made them available to friends. (However, the last person doing so for an F-16 knob set was so overwhelmed by requests, he had to stop.) Others have made their own knobs from scratch.Korry (http://www.korry.com/products/knobs/) makes a number of aerospace knobs. As you are apparently aware, prices and minimums are high. The Korry site does have drawings of the knobs if you want to try making your own.Another possibility is to buy gear from Ebay that has the knobs you're looking for.If you do find a source, please post it here.Mikewww.mikesflightdeck.comwww.mikesflightdeckbooks.com
February 27, 200719 yr Hi,I've been in touch wich Korry two month ago.The price for knobs is approx. btw. 13 and 18 us$.As we are in europe, we have to calculate shipping and customs etc.So if we would like to go for the real thing, the best would be a collective order of some fellow simbuilders in europe, to evaluate a better price.Best from ViennaHans G.
