Remove Knobs

#1 Post by hgt001 »

Hello.

Anyone know if it is possible to remove the knobs on the original Knobster?

Want to mount it flush with a metal sheet.

Regards
Hans

Hi,

I do not know. But you are going to be asked what version because there were different assemblers.

Yes is the simple answer. The knobs and encoder are separate parts.

It's Knobster V2.

I know that such knobs are usually removable, but just want to check if they could for example be glued,
before I force them up.

Glued. I’ve never come across a knob that is glued to the encoder so I very much doubt it but the SI guys can answer that specifically.

Simple to remove,

Pop the cap off the small knob with your fingernail or small screwdriver. The small knob collet can then be loosened with a blade screwdriver. Slide off the small knob to reveal a 8mm?? collet nut on the large knob. It can be loosened with a socket or nut driver then slide off the shaft.
