Trainwreck knobs

Post by Tinkerer »

Merry Christmas, and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all.

I'm searching for the knobs used on the Express and am wondering if these are them: http://au.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Davi ... km8A%3d%3d

The diameter seems OK at 3/4", but the hight worries me at 3/16". That to me seems to be the diameter of the set screw! Has anybody tried them and are they OK, or can you point me in the right direction?

Thanking all in advance

According to the BOM that is the right part #. and knob. The pic looks proper also. The 3/16 measurement is slightly misleading, I don't know if thats a typo or what.

Had that same question a bit ago.

Ended up tracking down the Davies knob specs; the Mouser lableing is misleading/wrong:

They are really 3/4 by 9/16 (as received from Mouser 3 days ago).
