Anybody know where I can get replacement knobs for Carver gear?

I seem to have a messed up knob on a pre-amp I have. I can probably fixit myself but I'd like to replace it if I can.

    HEY! I paid you fair and square!


    Nah, it was actually broke when I got it. I thought it was just a little notchy but the plastic collar that slides on to the shaft of the volume pot was cracked and the knob was slipping around the shaft. Nothing worthy of complaining about. Figured I'd just fix it and be done with it. Beggars can't be choosers!

    It's only about $5 worth of "Nice Knob!"

    I think you'd have to be a knob to buy one.:rolleyes:

    The point here is the micro vibrations created by the volume pots and knobs find their way into the delicate signal path and cause degradation (Bad vibrations equal bad sound). With the signature knobs micro vibrations from the C37 concept of wood, bronze and the lacquer itself compensate for the volume pots and provide (Good Vibrations) our ear/brain combination like to hear…way better sound!!
    Surely this is worth the extra $480...

    Jstas,

    Man, I apologize, I didn't realize that it was broke. If you find a replacement or what have you, lemme know, I'll pay for it.

    Didn't think so, I don't either.

    Don't worry about it. I'll find a knob or fix it myself, it's no big deal at all. I wasn't posting to make an issue out of it, just looking to utilize the Club Polk collective resources. Thought somebody might have a connection or know of a place to get parts.

    Never thought otherwise, amigo.

    If I happen to run accross a suitable substitue, I'll pass it on and still offer to pick up the tab on a reasonable replacement.

    Ima be in Jersey for the next couple weeks, maybe you, me and George can hookup and have a beer and so forth.

    I got an email from George. He said he's away for the weekend but he is surely up for it when he gets back.
