I got some of those from this Ebay seller

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/37mm-Alumini ... 2749.l2649
Thanks for that! I might grab some!!

Not sure what I'll use them for, but I ordered a bunch of these Marconi-style knobs (4 of each color except the dark red) for guitars or pedals from here.

Thanks! I really spent a long time figuring out which guard shape to take and came up with very similar shapes - and then I stumbled across that one from Andrew somewhere in the bareknuckle forums - I think I posted this some time ago...

telemasterII_MG_9905.jpg by andrewrjw,

I was able to track him down and he was so kind to send me his old photoshop mockup - which was usable enough to make some arrangements (WRHB and knobs, and screw position) in illustrator and export it as a dxf so that my father's cnc could read it.

...

Hit me up if you need that pickguard-file!
I remember that. I probably posted it myself at some point too, to see if anyone knew what it was. One of my favorites. Would you mind sending that file my way as well please?

Sure thing, Jason! :)
I just need to visit my father and put the edited files on a usb-stick! It has no bevel yet as my father‘s cnc misses the tools for it - so I did it with a blade which worked but was also a pain in the a** on the finer curves.

Those knobs look great and perfectly fitting for another sci-fi-based project!

So. I'm waiting for the electro-socket jack to arrive - as the Fender one doesn't stay in place.
Also I have the files now! :-)
Jason, I sent you a message... if anyone else is interested in the dxf file... let me know!

Yes, all done now. For now at least. Sorry for the late reply! :-)
I'm still missing the cap for the second switch (this means I have to figure what I want to do with it first).
The parallel/seriell switch for the WRHB works perfectly now thanks to the guitar-technician at my local music store - and gives a nice additional range.

And for all of you who are interested in the Pickguard!
I just ordered an aluminum guard from Herad - so Justin has the file and you can order a fitting guard for your upcoming Telemaster from him! :-)

Here is a pic from the Firemist Twins... I will take some more with the DSLR once I find the time! :-)
