[BC] LPB console knobs/buttons

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

Is there a market for knobs like those used on older consoles? For instance, if a company made some new knobs of perhaps several colors, but the same size that was used in the Gates yard consoles, with the same "feel," perhaps even heftier, but something that could be retrofitted to replace all the knobs at once so the console would look good... Do you think there would be a market for a thousand? I know people in the Philippines who could produce knobs, but they would need to do a thousand at a time to make it worthwhile to set up the molding equipment. The unit cost would be about US$5.00 apiece in lots of 1,000.

Cheers,
