Hello,

I saw somewhere on the forum that someone found a source to get Buchla knobs. I like the design and would be interested to get some.

Unfortunately I don't find anymore the post.

Could someone help me to redirect me to the right topic or give me the link.

And, why not more info concerning the front panel and also the new knobs.

There is enough people on that forum doing excellent module in which I would be interested to built with such a design and knobs.

Thanks to all of you for your work and contribution.

Can someone explain what the compression ring is? I can't find any details on what that actually does.

The colored knobs were Rogan 'Alphas' and then later, Rogan RB67. Unfortunately, in order to get them in anything but black, they must be custom ordered, with a pretty steep minimum count of 1000. Then, if you want all 3 Buchla sizes, you must, of course, make 3 custom orders. That's a spicy meatball, as they say.

The older black knobs are Davies. These are readily available.

If anyone hasn't already seen Mark Verbos' Buchla Blog-- you can find there much info, like this and everything else Buchla.

Also, I conducted the group buy for the RB67s in January, but they were all pre-sold.

However, I will be doing another group buy, maybe as early as late July-- as my finances permit. This time it will be for the larger size blue 'frequency' knobs. Just putting it out there for anyone interested...
