[JMS] 90801 knobs

[Don Buska]

Thanks Bob,

I'll look through my old Millen catalogs to see if I can come up with a 
part number on those smaller sized bar knobs.  Will call Ralph over at 
JME to see if he still stocks them next week.  I have little problem 
with all the other rotary switches on the 90801 except that meter switch.
