Knobs for vintage Orange amps

Post by coryt » Tue Mar 13, 2018 10:55 pm

Does anybody know where to get correct style knobs for an old Ormat amp? I specifically need the large knobs with the tear drop markers.
Thanks

Pretty sure they are not made anymore. I'm not sure what other companies used the same knobs but it would be worth checking other amp companies. Otherwise, there's ebay of course....

It's possible that a period correct radio might have the same knobs, too. I found knobs for another amp once at an antique radio show...

No idea, but if you have one on hand, as a last resort theres people in the DIY community that are 3D printing knobs with fairly impressive results.

I’ve only succeeded by searching eBay for knobs for old lab test equipment. And even then, I’ve only found knobs that kinda match. Those knobs are not made by anyone anymore. The later Orange knobs can be found on eBay or I think Orange was selling them at one point.
