Nice work, Sam! We need people like you to keep these precious things alive.

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: https://syntaur.com/Items.php?Item=7201 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. Cream: https://syntaur.com/Items.php?Item=2493 Yellow: https://syntaur.com/Items.php?Item=2511 Orange: https://syntaur.com/Items.php?Item=1359 I'm pretty stoked about having these parts available again. And now that we've gotten the process down, I'm interested to hear what other parts might be good candidates for recreating in this manner. Any suggestions? Sam Mims Syntaur
