Step 6Fitting the Volume Knob/Pot
I wanted to minimize modifications to the floppy drive, but absolutely had to add a volume knob. I played with the idea of adding a disk sticking out the front of the drive (where a floppy would go), and simply thumbing the disk back and forth as a volume knob, but that proved too large of a mechanism.
Once I found a suitable spot for the volume knob, I had to make some room for it . . . which included some cutting, some bending, and of course some hammering!

you could have used the floppy insert as the on/off switch and then used the flip lock as the volume. Just an idea then no black knob. although you can get some testers paint pretty close to the Macintosh platinum grey. There is a white paper on exactly what this grey is and exactly what the aesthetics are of the platinum case designs codenamed snow white. the Imagewriter II being the first of these snow white designs.
