It is the control knob in front of the B9 opposite of the microphone.

Oh ok gotcha.  Never heard it called a bar knob it is usually referred to as the Torso Knob.

Craig R is selling them at very reasonable prices on the club site.

Well you are right it is a torso knob for the B9 however its true name is a bar pointer knob. The military used them on electronic equipment.

Yea I know Graig is selling them but you have to buy something else. And at the moment I do not need anything else he has. My B9 is finally mobile, the torso can move 360 degrees and the leg section can move in any direction.

That's awesome!  Would love to see pics and/or video. 
At that price, I bought more than one so as to have backups.

That is more of a guideline than a rule, lol. If you need to knob I will certainly sell you one! Just email me privately.

I should probably take that note off....

Thanks,

Craig

Right....it is used on military electronic equipment which I am very familiar with, as I was in USAF Aircraft Electronics in the early 70's. I would suggest these parts be identified by the common name used by the club so everyone knows what you are talking about or you may end up clarifying all your emails. That's just my two cents worth.
