Brass Knobs

[Fiesta Red]

Anyone have a source for brass knobs for 1/4" shaft pots. Don't want the shiny gold ones, prefer the slightly darker ones. I've checked all the usual places -- All Parts, Reverb, etc but all I can find are the 6mm knobs that won't fit.

These in the pic are relic'ed however I'm using it for a reference to the color I'm looking for. And these are 6mm also.

The picture you posted is on Guitar Fetish - did you check there? Also, any brass can be aged very quickly even if they are shiny and new.

Is spraying them an option

Conversely, I'm sure there's plenty of TGPagers with 1/4" shafts who haven't gotten their knobs shiny in years

You can try soaking the shiny ones in some salt water.

Odd, I could have sworn I got a set from them awhile back that were 1/4". When checking the site, I see it actually does not list the size for the ones with the screw in - only th e'pop' on plastic. They definitely exist out there somewhere - happy hunting!

Also, IDK if you knew this, but you can take Nickel hardware and age it in a way that makes it appear to be brass. I have done so with several items that I could not find the brass equivalent of.
