Speaking of photos, I've added one more to my buttonhack page, showing the completed unit, in the home-office docking bay.

I took a little time today to drop some 5-minute epoxy into the new knob, lined the mounting projection on my player with thin plastic wrap (so I could separate them again after the epoxy hardened), and then stuffed the two together, face down on the table, for 20 minutes.

The result, the knob now fits my Mk2a player perfectly, without the little rubber washer thingie that threw it slightly off-center.

(for those who didn't know/notice, the knobs Tony and I got were molded from a Mk2 template, rather than a Mk2a. The mounts are slightly different on the two models).

Cheers
