I just pulled a tone knob off my G22K and compared it to the G9000 tone pot......The 22K pot (same as 33K) is actually bigger, but theres not a lot in it, and if you could find a G8000/9000 parting out, which I have seen a few, and there is at least one on that epay place, you could totally use them, and I think they would probably look aright.....

Well, I guess that G-33000 tuner section that was advertised here the other day has been sold as a complete piece. I hope that's what I'm reading here. If this is the case, I am glad to see it has been bought by someone who is interested in using it.
The knob set the Kev is referring to looks like a mis-matched set. The volume knob appears to be a little different from the tuner knob. Expect to pay dearly for them.

That's ok, the important thing is it's been saved!
I hope you can find something that will work.

I've noticed on ebay that the knobs go for around $25 each, quite expensive considering that I need 6. If I can get good dimensions and a close up shot of the knobs then I can have the machinist at work make some. He's already done the face plate for a cd player that I'm making so I think he'll do the knobs.

I'd be happy to work with you on that. When I get home today, I'll get some pics and dimensions for you. I don't have a micrometer, though.
I am sure we all would love to see what they look like when completed.

I think the one listed here was the one you purchased, which is why a few of us are saying it's great to see it saved.........(cant be too many G33K pre-amps for sale)
The seller broke the forum rules anyway (cant sell gear on this particular forum), and wanted to part it out, which was met with horror from a few members.....
Looks like all has ended well....
Great you have someone who can machine the knobs up for you. That would be ideal.
I put a G9000 knob on my 22K and thought it actually looked okay, but as you say, they are quite expensive......so going the way you are having them manufactured is probably the best......

If it was the one that was on here the other day, he wont need the volume or tuning knob....looks like the tone knobs were missing, as I understand it........

That's right the volume and tuning knob were there, missing all the small tone,balance,mic knobs. I guess it is the same one then. Glad I saved it there must not have been too many of these made and it would be a real shame if it was dismantled for parts. I'll do my best to see this one up and running and then wait for an amp section to come along.
Could have been a ruse on the sellers part - it certainly sold quickly enough :scratch2:

I still had the "parting out thread open on my PC at home. His member id is refrigman.
I see from the seller's picture that you have "a" balance control knob. On close examination of his crapy picture, it looks like it's a knob from a single series reciever. The balance, bass, midrange, treble, impedance selector and selector knobs are all the same. It's 22mm in length. The smallest diameter xis also 22mm. The wider diameter is about 23.5mm. The tectured portion is about 6.5mm wide.

The mic mixing level knob is between 19.5mm and 20mm in length. The small diameter is 18mm. The wide diameter is 19mm. That textured portion is just a little shorter than the other know at about 5.5mm.
I'd love to see pics of your buddy's work. Let me know if you need anything else. Best of luck.

Please post some pics of the finished product. I'd be interested in seeing how they turn out. :thmbsp:
