How do i go about selecting the knobs for potentionmeter?
Do i have to know the shaft diameter or spindle diameter?
What is a shaft diameter and what is a spindle diameter?
Please advise. Thanks.
Example: "The standard pot. is 15/16" in diameter and has a 3/16" diameter shaft. Never heard anything about a spindle before.
On the above you buy a knob for a 3/16" shaft. Also there are different types of shafts such as knurled or split or ones that are smooth like the ones that Radio Shack sells.
