Moved to Wanted to Buy from Steel Without Pedals.

As you might have seen from a search, there have been a number of people looking for such knobs in the past, without much luck.

Good luck on your search!

Knobs?

There have been two knobs on eBay now for weeks!

They don't come cheap but that seems to be the going price these days.

If you're talking about this eBay auction, the knobs are not the type found on most Rickey B6s.

If you're talking about another auction, please list the auction number. I could only find this one auction in a search, but perhaps I'm not searching correctly.

I think Rick Aiello has reproduced those knobs. I'm pretty sure I saw them on the forum within the last few years.

Rick hasn't posted for quite a while.

It looks like we have a difference of opinion here.

Of my 12 Bakelites, B-6's and B-7's.......
I find that 4 of them have the 'arrow' knobs clearly installed thereon..... These are on the models that have the volume knob on the audience side and the tone knobs on the player side.

Each of the Pandas have different types of knobs altogether. A couple with single knobs only, have the Octogon style.

The rest seem to be flying saucer type knobs.
