I want to install the old knobs on new cables. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | You don't. They are molded onto the shaft. If you are very careful you can sometimes open the crimp, where the wire is crimped to the end of the shaft, enough to get the old wire out. That is quite difficult to do and requires the patience of a saint. The best bet is to try to find a repop knob (those have a way to fasten them to the shaft if the original knob is broken) or locate a cable on ebay or at a swap meet.
