Does anyone know how, where to anodize already anodized aluminum knobs ?
They're black but need them to be gold. I guess stripping off black color comes first. There are anodizing kits online but I don't want to pay an arm and leg for changing the color of small knobs 25mm and 35mm in diameter.
Maybe someone has already such a kit at home ?
Willing to pay for a good service 🙂

It is easy to remove the anodizing, lye will do it. But the black color most likely is a dye used under the finished surface. You are better off starting with natural aluminum. Most folks offer the same knobs in both colors. My anodizer charges $45 minimum. The idea of how to anodize is simple, getting good results is not.
Yeah, no answer.
This is an old integrated amp, they ceased production ten years ago. Old but so far I have not been able not find anything better and I went through many.

VT4C audio website has tons of knobs...

They have loads of knobs for a few bucks each in many, many flavors.
Shipping from Asia would be less than the minimum fee at your local anodizer.
Stripping and re-anodizing can be tricky to get a good cosmetic finish.
