It's missing one of its mini knobs. Any chance anyone around here knows of a source for a replacement knob that matches the mini knobs Gretsch used in the late 70's?

I am curious as to how it sounds with the built in phaser and compressor. peoplechipper Advanced Member Username: peoplechipper Post Number: 389 Registered: 2-2009 Posted on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - 11:09 pm:    That doesn't look like anything exclusive, so you may be able to find it at a good OLD electronics store...Tony...cool find! harald_rost Advanced Member Username: harald_rost Post Number: 233 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 16, 2014 - 2:04 am:    You should have a look at this website: http://www.guitar-parts.com/ They nearly have everything in vintage parts. cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1649 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Thursday, January 16, 2014 - 10:47 pm:    Nice score, Bill! A HS friend of mine briefly had one of those (he was a buyer/seller type; everything he had was briefly), and it was a great instrument.

He always seemed to be more of a purist.
