Some of you probably have already known this, but I had a flash of inspiration today on how to get the aluminum inserts on the B-Line main tuning knobs to have that nice, turned look again. Turn 'em!
So, I took the three sorry-looking knobs I had out to the woodshop, chucked up a 1/4" drill bit in the drill press, installed each knob on the bit and ran the press at about 800 rpm. I took a piece of 2500-grit sandpaper and ran it back and forth across the face. Voila! Knobs look almost as good as new! Of course, this procedure won't remove any dings, and you need to be careful not to hit the plastic too much. It's a massive improvement! Enjoy Those Drakes...
