I would like to have a spindle control knob for my Optimus 99 in place of the key. Ideally, the type with the red knob that reads "Optimus" and has the arrows for "clean" & "close". Is there such an animal that will fit inside the 99 case? I saw one that was perfect but the overall length was stated as 4 7/8" and I don't see how that will fit.
Wow! Old age must be getting the best of me. I just realized that I asked this same question over a year ago. I sincerely apologize. The moderators can feel free to delete this post.
Is this too short or wrong end? http://cgi.ebay.com/OPTIMUS-PRIMUS-...144?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf823b108 Duane
Duane, That has the wrong end. This one... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...275932&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_543wt_1139 has the correct end but at 4 7/8" long I don't think it will fit in the 99 case.
Hi MTCamper The eBay seller who is selling the knob is, admittedly, a stove pal of mine. That said, I just put my identical knob which I took off my 111 into a Optimus 99 clone case. It's a tight fit and took a bit of juggling, but it did fit in the case of the clone and allowed me to close the case completely. Also, granted, it's a clone, not a gen-u-wine 99. Bottom line, if an eBay seller with 3381 100% feedbacks assures you it will fit and offers to work out any issues with you in their listing, what's the problem? 8) Alternatively, you *could* just make your own knob. Cheers, Gary
