Big Big Knob

Postby Futureman » Sat Dec 04, 2010 2:40 am

Found this MASSIVE rheostat / pot in my garage while clearing it out.
(Along with a pair of Quadraphonic headphones and about 10 'pong' consoles)

The windings are about as big as a grapefruit / orange

Is this big and heavy enough for you Rick?

Maybe we could convince people that they 'sound' amazing. Or sell them for their copper.
