Re: FYI: Cosmic Chasm control knob information

Hi,

It looks like Alco knobs is really Alco switch, and it has been bought out by
Tyco Int. After looking for about an hour or so I finally narrowed it down, and
found the site. The site allows you to go through and set the criteria on what
the knob you are looking for should look like, but Im not sure what all the terms
mean etc. Im in dire need of one of these, as im sure others are as well, and
hoped that maybe someone who understands the terminology better than me can
narrow it down on their site. I also think that if that does not work perhaps
someone can contact them and brow nose a little for a small batch. Let them know
that the legend of Alco knobs lives on:P Below is the link.

I hope someone can help,
