What size Allen wrench on Webb Knobs?

Post by Billy Woo »

I just joined the elite squad of "Webb" amp owners and discovered some scratchy knob pots. Does anyone know what size Allen wrench fits in the (2) small holes? I know they're pretty small but I could not get my allen wrench cluster to work (fold-out type)
any info would be appreciated.

I just tried an SAE 1/16 wrench and it fits good. I have a Webb 6-14-E with the white knobs.

There are two different knob types. One has numbers, the other has a pointed arrow. I don't know if they use different set screws or not.

Topic moved to "Electronics" section.

Thanks for the info, I borrowed a 1/16 from a friend and got all the knobs off and cleaned the pots with Dexil #5 (hosa brand)
my Webb sounds much better now..
