That page is a great resource. I remember referencing it a while back =
during a repair. It seems to have grown since then!

It=E2=80=99s just too bad that the handle START|STOP TAP image is a JPEG =
(with edge artifacts) instead of a crisp, anti-aliased TIFF, GIF, PNG, =
or other lossless image format. I never like printing from a JPEG - at =
least not for text; JPEG is designed for photorealistic images, not for =
line art or text.

It may not match precisely, but if you happen to need to print your own =
START | STOP labels, try =
http://www.audiobanshee.com/repairs/TR-808_START-STOP.pdf - I made this =
for Tom=E2=80=99s TR-808, or maybe it was Mike=E2=80=99s.

Sorry, Tom, I don=E2=80=99t know where to get those knob caps. Maybe =
some could be laser-cut from a sheet of solid white/orange sticker=E2=80=A6=
