brue58ski Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I would like to get a new tuning selector knob for my JTV-89F but there aren't any out there. On the Line 6 site, it says they are out of stock. My hope is it's because of all of the shipping issues these days. Does anyone know if that is true? If not, am I out of luck, or will there eventually be some coming in somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Tried Full Compass??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanPenn1 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 No deal. I recently bought one each of JTV-69 model and alt tuning knobs from Full Compass as possible spares for my 89Fs, and they are all that could be obtained. I was thinking I could just paint the silver cap black. Both are off by one in selection. Would only use if desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanPenn1 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Oops, meant to say Standard, not JTV-69. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanPenn1 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 While I'm rambling: I discounted the 59 knob for cosmetic reasons. Had I asked about the Standard/69 knob compat with the 89F before buying, I'm sure I could have been set straight. The stop is definitely offset differently with respect to the shaft D hole. But at least I have extra caps for the knobs. My buddy's new 89F had the cap missing from its alt tuning knob. It's in for warranty service (along with a bad piezo).

brue58ski Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 Yes I did try Full Compass. A missing black cap is exactly why I want one. It's actually missing from the alt tuning knob. I may just get the 59 knob since it's the only one available. I would like to know if they will be available again eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 I just checked an there are no JTV type knobs available anywhere that I looked. I hope that is going to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanPenn1 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I had actually bought 2 of the Standard alt tuning knobs, in case my buddy wanted us to do the fix ourselves. He opted for warranty repair instead. For 1 of the 2 I received, the cap promptly fell out of the knob. If you want, I can send it to you gratis. Some black epoxy paint ought to fix up the color. I don't want to take one of my 89F knobs apart just to see if the cap fits, so this would be a good science project. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 About five very small dabs of Krazy Glue, put the top on, let it sit and set for an hour. Then put it back on the Alt Tune encoder shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanPenn1 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 From a quick look, Reverb and eBay don't support selling a $0 item (I'm shocked! ;)). Hopefully, you have an account for one of those. I could post it as Tuning Knob Parts or some such, so you can find it. Say, for $1. I expect it will still get to you faster than you buying it yourself. Before I bought it, I confirmed with their parts dept. that it is a special order item with a lead time of 2 weeks: https://www.fullcompass.com/prod/517487-line-6-50-03-0137-alt-tuning-knob-for-variax-standard.

psarkissian Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 That is not for an 89F, and it does not have a stop tab. Looks like one from an older version Variax. It is the correct part number for the Variax Standard and not a JTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanPenn1 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Yes, it is for a Standard. The picture is incorrect. The part does have a stop tab, but it is offset one selection from what the 89F needs. Brue56ski just wants it for the cap. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Stop tab was broken or cut off, saw part of it in the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanPenn1 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Sorry if I gave the impresson I didn't know your major contributing role. I was trying to convey that the broken-off stop was pretty subtle to see. I have learned a lot from your posts over the last 3 years since I was turned on to Variaxes by a buddy.

psarkissian Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Thanks, it looked odd, I almost missed the broken tab myself. "Sorry if I gave the impression I didn't know your major contributing role.

brue58ski Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Thank you for your efforts. I do have an ebay account but haven't used it like this. So if you post it on ebay, is it up for an auction or is there like a private sale area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanPenn1 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Sorry for the delay - new project. Looks like we can do a private offer deal. I'll try to get it set up by tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwinking Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I have a JTV 59 and don't need the knob. I also have a Shuriken (which is a great feeling guitar, BTW) and have no use for the models or the tunings. In another post I am now trying to change out the tunings to be what my 59 has. It would be nice to have both knobs that correspond to the new tunings and models. Are there knobs that would fit on the Shuriken from any of the other variax guitars?

psarkissian Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 No. Custom tuning is best done using the Workbench HD application,.. see the Downloads page for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwinking Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I get how to do custom tuning. I just would like a knob like my 59JTV has that would fit on my Shuriken now that I have all of the 59 models and will soon have all of the 59 tunings on there. I guess my question was simple and I am not sure if you answered it.....If I get a 59 model and tuning knob, will it fit on the shuriken shaft or are they different sizes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 It will physically fit, but the stop points will be different and so the Models and Alt Tune points won't line-up the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 psarkissian, are you allowed to tell us if any knobs will ever become available again? Is it a shipping issue? I understand if you can't say anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 There are parts in the pipeline. There are still supply chain hang ups at different points. What parts and when, I don't know, it changes with the CoVid issue affects. ETA keeps changing, but stuff is out there, and in transit.
