Where Can I Get Knobs to Replace Missing Knobs on 002R?

[akakpaws]

I recently bought an "out-of-the-box" Digi 002R from Guitar Center, Oakland, CA. The unit was missing several knobs on the front panel. At the time of purchase they promised to order the replacement knobs, but so far I have only recieved excuses when I inquire. Any suggestions how I can replace the missing knobs? Are these sold by Digidesign? Are these knobs fairly standard and can be purchased at an electronics store?

Thanks Anyone

You can find those knobs on the webstore under Services > Spares. Should be on the second page.

It might be cheaper to buy some gumdrops from a candy store and mash them on the pots.

Seriously, if they don't have to look like the originals, the hole in the knob that mates to the potentiometer shaft is fairly standard. You might find some knobs from an old piece of electronics that might work. Check with a local equipment repair company. They might have a box of old knobs they might let you look through. Knobs from old mixing consoles, or even the volume control from old TVs might work.

Ebay?

Yes, I saw some on ebay.
Im going to replace the original ones in my 002r because they are too deep in size and its easy to hurt the potentiometers when you take it on the road. I dont know why they made them so tall.
Many knobs have a screw so you can adjust them to diferent pots.
