i can't for the life of me remember what tho.....
im sure that if you search around the web a bit you can score something similier or the same, you might even be able to find something like that at an electronics store.

closest I've been able to find are these on ebay

but they're huge. like 1 1/2 inches across.

mouser and digikey are a pain in the ass to browse for shit like this.

You can find almost any knob alembic uses on electronics supply pages, presumably the same places they get them from. Not always for sale except in mass quantities though... Those last ones in particular are quite common.

Also check out these:

well, I looked the best I could on mouser (1000+ knobs) and digikey (800+ knobs) and couldn't find them. if you can find them, let me know. the last ones are common yes, that is actually a kawai copy not a real alembic.

yea, I saw the small bear ones... ehhh

I'll take a look at teh tyco, thx

ooh. do want alembic copy. don't know why i like the look of alembics so much. there's so many awful things to associate them with, so by extension i should hate them. whatever.
