Thought I'd post here instead of sending an email, maybe it's the wrong place...

I like to replace all the knobs on my white combo. It came stock with silver knobs. The part store doesn't have an option for silver. Are only gold plated knobs available?

The boards here at the forum are pretty busy. If I have questions for the people who run the MetroAmp store in specific, I call them by phone or send email. Chances are on they'd have silver knobs or a line on some if absolutely nothing is in stock.

Thanks for the link, they might, I'd have to take a closer look at the shaft size, I'm sure they'd fit. I kind of was hoping to find everything I need in one place, here preferably. The silver Jub knobs are probably closest to what my amp has since it was an 83. Even though it was the 82s that were white I think because mine is Canadian is came out under the wire or something. I bought it used in like, 85 or something, maybe it was a custom order?

i use the gold knobs he offers, they are the same as the silver ones, and you may have to add a a nut or some washers at the inside of the chassis to the pot, otherwise you'll have a lil space between chassis and knob (a couple of mm...). i have pec pots in my amp and had to add a nut, it's much better right now, there's a lil space left, but that's fine for me. you may not have that problem with alpha pots if the shaft is different in lenght.

otherwise they look great and fit perfect, i'd go for them.
