Anybody know where to find burns knobs?

does anybody know where to find burns knobs besides that music connection place, which charges $80 for a set that isn't correct...

Well, with this, you could probably have a machine shop make some for you, but with machining labor rates in the $70/hour range, that might end up costing more than the $80 that Mike Park wants. I'm guessing that's pretty much what he did, but probably had several sets made to get the cost down to around $80 for a set.

Now, if you've got a friend with a metal lathe, knurling tools, etc. maybe you can work out a deal...

I've dealt with Mike Parks for years, I can recommend him as good to do business with.

I've bought Ricks and parts from him too. He's definitely not a "rip off" sort of guy. If he's charging $79 for a set of knobs it's because they cost that much, as I tried to describe above...
