Hi Fellow Grumblers,
I used to get small brass Knobs from United. They are either 1/2" or 5/8" on top with a screw stem. I can't find them in bulk anywhere. I use them for feet on my Cosmic Modulators (Box Kaleidoscopes made from scrap mouldings).
Can you direct me to a source?
Thanks, Bill
 
Bill, as a former cabinet maker, I would suggest you check the yellow pages for a local hardware wholesaler. That is a standard size knob. If that fails call some local cabinet shops. Basically that is the type of knob used for the front of cutting boards. Stanley hardware should make something like that. You don't want to pay retail, but Home Depot/Lowes should have some if you are in a pinch.
 
Thanks J and Rick,
I was spoiled by United's very low price. It looks like I'm going to have to pay over $2.00 per Knob, 4x the amount I was getting them for through United. I'll just up the price of the kaleidoboxes!
Thanks again, Bill
 
Thanks Susie, It's the same story. I understand and do not mind paying for good quality, after all, my customers do! Bill
 
www.ansaldi.com page 28 part # 3115 $1.60 ea but they may do price breaks for quantity.
 
Jackpot Diane! Thanks very much! I knew the Grumblers would come through. I've ordered 100 knobs at a very good price..... that should keep me quiet for awhile. ~ Bill
