[ARC5] home-made knob conversion - brass tubing.

[Bruce Long via ARC5]

i have long been a user of KB telescoping brass tubing but availability from hardware and or hobby shops in the area has been poor and is getting worst.  The local hobby store which was once quite good has evolved into a gamers story.

So I have been buying my brass tube from McMaster Carr

Well, here in Moscow, Idaho, I find it in a special display of various brass, 
aluminum, and steel rod, tube, and sheet at our local hardware stores...both 
of them.

Also, at hobby stores. Model airplane builders use a lot of it.

The tube comes in 1 foot long and 3 feet long pieces and cost is very 
reasonable.

One 3 foot long piece is good for quite a number of adapters.

They have sizes down to 1/8" and up to 1".

I would imagine that any town at least as big as Moscow, Idaho (25K 
population) would have one or the other source.
