I built a home-brew precision oscillator that uses an optical encoder, and I got a cool-looking knob with a crank at our local parts, junk and surplus store (gateway electronics, great place). Turns out that the crank-handle is just heavy enough so that at some knob positions the weight of it can turn the encoder slightly. Of course, if you have a felt washer you can avoid this, but I must say it took me by surprise and left me a little disappointed, because the knob looks so cool.
