Help, the top of my knob has fallen off !!

I very kindly lent my DBX 160s to a friend and they've come back with one of the knob tops missing. Being a bit anal retentive I have to get a new one.

Can anyone point me in the right direction ? I'm in the UK.

I've included a picture so you can see what I mean.

Thanks in advance.

James

Could be SIFAM.
In the UK try Canford Audio or Radiospares or Farnell.
In that order....

Could very well be the one you need.
Measure the right diameter size.

Hi Richard

Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated. The "cap" I linked to appears to be one size only but at £0.25 I can probably afford to take a chance.

Thanks again.

If you look further, you will discover that there are various knobs with various diameters, each catering for their own specific cap.
Go and investigate the Canford Sifam pages.

Have fun !

It might not be sifam. It could be a Re-an knob (now a Neutrik company)
