Took the 935 with freshly printed knobs to the Hometown HiFi show today. If you're in Los Angeles anytime before April 24 definitely check it out. :yes:

Hi-Fi two ways (Lasonic and King Tubby's)

The 935 in front of the Dub Siren stack (Dub Siren is my favorite iPhone app and the posse recently mounted up a sound system)

Fresh! :thumbsup:

A set of ten knobs is $20 + shipping (I'll also trade a set for a 935 tape counter/reset mechanism).

Go!

Those 935 sliders look amazing!

That is a damn fair price for an other wise impossible part to find!

Nice work Miles!

Thanks Chris! :yes:

After quite a few attempts, I got the right look and fit:

I'm putting some sets in the mail tomorrow, so next week there should be some well-dressed 935s out there! ;-) :thumbsup:

Go!

Amazing.....Missing slider's have been the achilles heel for the 935. The clear ones are only used on this one radio and 9 out of 10 times there is one or more missing.

Just amazing :yes:

Miles = :hooray:

Not only are these LED eq slider caps fantastic on the 935 (thanks Miles), but they also fit the Helix Wheely and all of the AKA's!!!!!!!


If your wheely is missing these caps, get a set now before they are gone!



Thanks a lot bud, fantastic parts. I can't believe how well the caps "snug-fit" on the sliders. All 10 were perfect.


I bought my 2nd Lasonic TRC-935 just because it had all the slider caps. This seller decided to put cardboard right on the EQ sliders instead of padding. Well the box took a few good hits in shipping and the cardboard was stronger than the slider caps...... this is what I ended up with:

I have searched HOURS on ebay and emailed DOZENS of ebay sellers that have component EQs with LED slider pots asking them to pull a cap off the eq sliders and measure the slot in the back of the cap.....

Slot dimensions:
2mm x 6mm
1/4" x 1/16"+
approx 6mm / 1/4" deep

Cap dims:
12mm x 7mm x 4mm thick


Its a tough part to come across.



There are also guys upgrading the LEDs in pots like ours:

Thanks Joe! I've always been impressed with your straps so it's quite a compliment coming from you. :yes:

Do you have pix of the knobs on your 935 and/or Helix Wheely? :hmmm:

Go!
