Checkout this site,all sort of transilluminated knobs.
There is even a catalog with specs.
Great information.

but they dont sell single knobs. I once informed there for the NG style pencil knobs (for radio management panel) but had to buy 500. (at 17 each, and i didnt need 8.500 dollars worth of knobs at that time )

You get the real deal there though

Dont know if they changed policy since then.

I want to second Matt here. People seem to think they only have to pay for a piece of plastic, but they forget it takes time for us to make the knobs, paint them, etc. In our case dont rule out the metal mold (we dont use silicon molds) which costs a few thousands to make.

Honoustly, 5 or 10 dollars for a handmade custom knob is really not too much.

There a guy here in the venders section in the cassifieds, who makes transilluminated knobs that i cant tell the difference from the real ones. At 15 $ i consider them a bargain if you look at the time he spends for making a single knob.

Drop him (nihad) an e-mail or take a look at his website (www.simknobs.com).

Sure making them yourself is cheaper...but dont rule out the small fortune on resin and silicone rubber that you will waste trying

Sadly they don't have the FCU knobs, maybe I will ask them if they can manage to get some

Hi rgcouto,

Unfortunately I do not have FCU knobs. But you can ask Skalarki for them. Maybe he can help you.
