Anyone know where to get one of those knob tools?

I'm about to dig in to some old Sound Workshop Series 30 modules, and need one of those tools one uses to remove the knobs. I think they work on SSL's, AMEK's etc. There's on on ebay right now, but it's $60, which seemed high. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks!

I think you mean a collet knob tool?

I doubt if you'll find something specifically designed for removing collet knobs for very much less than the $60 one, but for way less than $60 you could go buy a flat head screwdriver and a file, then file the screwdriver to the right shape to do it.

I assume you've popped a cap off of one of your console's knobs already and verified that you can't unscrew them with a normal mini screwdriver? A lot of them can be.

sometimes, in a pinch, you can use the 'inside' measuring teeth of a vernier caliper to unscrew a collet knob...so long as it isn't on there too tight
