Re: [Drakelist] Spare parts
Sweet! I notice that there are a variety of aftermarket "Fender" knobs available on the interenet. I imagine one might want to avoid the metal ones as a safety precaution Nice work, Joe. 73 -Jim NU0C On Fri, 05 Oct 2018 16:17:41 -0400, Joe Pyles wrote: >I received the Fender knobs today and they fit the MN2700.

Re: [Drakelist] Spare parts
I received the Fender knobs today and they fit the MN2700. They were a little tight when I first pushed them on but they went on and look fine. They don't look exactly like the originals but they're much better than the bare switch. I have an early and a late MN2700 and the knobs are different so I'm guessing Drake used what they could get. 73, Joe Pyles KC9LAD At 10:42 AM 10/1/2018, Joe Pyles wrote: Fender Telecaster guitars have a similar switch to choose different pickups and the knob looks like it would fit the Drake tuners.

Absolutely brilliant! A good friend of mine has a Tele that he plays regularly but I never made that connection. I bet it will work! 73 -Jim NU0C On Mon, 01 Oct 2018 10:42:15 -0400, Joe Pyles wrote: >Fender Telecaster guitars have a similar switch to choose different >pickups and the knob looks like it would fit the Drake tuners.

Re: [Drakelist] Spare parts
Fender Telecaster guitars have a similar switch to choose different pickups and the knob looks like it would fit the Drake tuners. The part number is 099-4936-000. I have ordered a few to see if they will fit. If you search the Fender part number several places sell the switch caps. I should get them any day from The Guitar Center and will let you know if they fit the tuner switches. 73, Joe Pyles KC9LAD At 02:44 PM 9/30/2018, Evert Bakker wrote: Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=_NextPart_000_0048_01D458FE.51AB5F30" Content-Language: nl Hello, I do have a Drake MN2700 tuner for many years now.

Re: [Drakelist] Spare parts
You probably won't find any unless someone has a parts donor unit. You will either have to fabricate your own, or pehaps an eBay searcy for "lever knob" under Consumer Electronics will turn up something from home audio units that will work. I see several from Pioneer, Sony, Craig, etc., that look promising. They won't be black though 73 -Jim NU0C On Sun, 30 Sep 2018 20:44:00 +0200, Evert Bakker wrote: >Hello, > > > >I do have a Drake MN2700 tuner for many years now. > >But even time cracks quality. > >The platic "front knobs" which slides onto the 2 capacitor switches broke. > >Is there anyone here who knows a source for a replacement? > > > >73's, Evert PA2KW > > -- The universe we're in will reach absolute zero in three hours.
