Title: Storm Trooper knob?
Post by: fdsman on December 04, 2009, 10:37:31 PM
Does anyone know what happened to it? I\'ve been looking for the closest up shot of it and I can\'t find anything on it. however seems like photos that were taken after that, show that he doesn\'t have a volume knob on that pot and then he replaced it with some generic black knob.

The most logical explanation I could come up with is that it fell off maybe due to the lack of a screw and he wasn\'t able to find it on the dimly light stages he performs on.

There is one seller on eBay who has around 40 of 3CPO, Boba Fett, and storm trooper knobs but they are cast metal and aren\'t painted.

I\'m thinking that the most logical explanation is either Bucket himself or someone painted it the appropriate colors since there isn\'t even an archive that depicts a painted storm trooper knob.

The reason I\'m so interested is because I\'m sort of making a "living" homage to Bucket by putting a storm trooper, speed knob, and arcade kill switch as well as an X2N and an Air Norton S in my strat.

Except since I\'m so influenced by Spinal Tap the knob is a cream speed knob that goes to 11!

So I suppose I\'ll have to get one from eBay and paint it myself.
