Colored Console Slider Knobs Source

[RadioMan203]

I've got an early Arrakis ARC-10 console with all black sliders. While I know I can order colored replacement knobs from Arrakis their extra handling fee of $25 makes it unattractive to order any parts from them (I discovered this when I had to order a replacement for a damaged side panel which they offered the original owner of the console for free but decided to charge me for).

I'm hoping somebody might be able to suggest an alternate source where I can order these from. Thanks in advance.

Open the console and see if you can determine what brand of faders are in it. That may help you find a less expensive parts source.

From what I recall Dale telling me, the pots were made by Panasonic. I came across one vendor who makes them but I have yet to determine if they will sell in small quantity. I was hoping somebody would happen to know of vendors who offer these knobs.

I've found the best source of rotary and slider knobs of various styles to be REAN, now part of the Neutrik family.

Here's a link to some of their product at Mouser:

You'll still want to find out what sort of faders you're dealing with so you can order the correct part. ALPS or P&G would be my guess.

Thanks, Scott. I would have never thought of Mouser in spite of getting all my electronic components from them.
