Hi Sam, Glad you=E2=80=99re working on these, they might become handy to many. = I=E2=80=99d suggest knobs and buttons for the Polysix, as these tend to = yellow really bad with age. Speaking of parts, I=E2=80=99m still looking for a 50k Jupiter-4 slider = which is proving to be very elusive, so if someone finds one please hit = me an email privately, thanks. Best, Jes=C3=BAs > El 19 jun 2018, a las 0:36, Sam Mims <xxx@xxxxxxx.xxx> escribi=C3=B3: >=20 > Hi AH guys & gals, >=20 > We've been working on doing some vintage repro parts by 3D printing. = One is the plastic shaft for a Prophet 5 (and similar) potentiometer. = It's a bit of work to replace this part, as it requires removing and = disassembling the pot - but when the alternative is a broken pot... We = actually strengthened the shaft with an extra ridge that still fits = within the knob. This part is here: >=20 > https://syntaur.com/Items.php?Item=3D7201 >=20 > We've also done up the cream, yellow, and orange switch buttons for = the Juno-6/60 (and several other Roland things from that era). Because = the original buttons discolor with age and sun exposure, there may be = some slight color differences in color between our new buttons and your = originals, but we've matched them as closely as we can. We hand finish = these, so that they have a nice smooth surface. >=20 > Cream: https://syntaur.com/Items.php?Item=3D2493 >=20 > Yellow: https://syntaur.com/Items.php?Item=3D2511 >=20 > Orange: https://syntaur.com/Items.php?Item=3D1359 >=20 > I'm pretty stoked about having these parts available again.
