Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
this thread inspired our acquisition of a knob

my wife wanted to play 20 questions about what was in the box, she got to "an input device" in 10 and gave up, she probably could've figured it out though she denies that

it has that excellent milled aluminum knob feel, smooth yet weighty turning and nice ridging everywhere

we're not entirely sure whose knob it is yet

When I was little my dad gave me a stereo receiver he stole from his workplace. When I would use the remote control to change the volume, the volume knob on the receiver would spin. Wow.

the Yamaha CR-640 stereo receivers, and probably other Yamaha ones of a similar age, have the source selection knobs on the front panel, but the switches are on the PCB towards the rear. how?? why, using a rod and a pair of u-joints, of course. why wouldn't you want that in your stereo system

i have been wanting to learn the f-86f in dcs, and it has a rotating handle on its throttle, to dial in the gunsight

maybe a knob would make this experience authentically analog

your pedals ain't poo poo unless they're originally Messerschmitt

my desire to own these things are juuuuust below my willingness to pay that amount of money via bank transfer to some random polish guy that it'd need to go get them.

but drat those are sweet poo poo.
