    Whats up guys. I posted a thread a while ago looking for D-shaft pots for my Big Muff. Well, I was able to find replacement pots, but they are split shaft so I have to use the newer knobs. Does anyone know if you can get the old-style pointer knobs, but for splined shafts rather than solid or D-shaft? I’m not having much luck. Thanks.

    I have these on my Big Muff, they are set screw (meant for solid shaft pots) but they work ok on splined.

    They also have them for D-shafts:

    I should buy some, I recently bought a Crying Tone pedal and some knobs are missing and the pot shafts are sticking through the others so I better replace those as well :D

    If you want Daka-Ware for a vintage restoration though, Daka-Ware was the brand name for products produced by Davies Molding. Davies Molding is still going, and they do still make some parts you might find useful.
    Looks like they still make these:

    I need a few of those D-shaft pointer knobs and a few round shaft too. Anyone dealt with Davies? Do I need to order a minimum order of 20,000 or something?

    EDIT: Minimum order:100 pieces
    Group purchase anybody?

    Anyone know if these ones from smallbear are D or round shaft?

    Have you tried Mouser Electronics? Their website is mouser.com. They sell a large variety of Davies knobs, and there’s no minimum order on stocked items. An electronics manufacturer that I used to work for orders a lot of parts from Mouser, and I’ve even ordered parts from them, as an individual, for home use. They’re a good company. They have a lot of stuff, though, which can make it hard to find what you want, but I suggest going to their website, click on “Electromechanical”, and then on “Knobs & Dials”. This will bring up over 1,000 different knobs, but there is a “Select Manufacturer” option. Just choose “Davies Molding” and click on the “Select” button. That will reduce the search to strictly Davies knobs. There are a few pictures; a lot of knobs don’t have a picture on the list, but they have a link to the catalog page, which has a drawing of all the knobs. Or, you could find the knob that you want on the Davies site and look for the part number on the Mouser site.

    I’ll be buying a bunch of those for backups for my vintage big muffs and small stone.

    I’m pretty sure those are the exact knobs EH used for the reissues the first year or so they were made. Seems there were several companies that made the original V2-5 Muff knobs in addition to Davies as there are at least four different injection molds. Here are a few of them.
