[JMS] 90801 knobs

[william fleig]

Hi Don,

If Ralph dosen't have them I may. I just bought 15 Millen Bar Knaobs on 
e-bay. They looked like the 90801 type knob but I won't know until I get 
them next week.

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.
