All about the Roland Jupiter-series

Hello all -

I just bought a replacement for that Jupiter 4 I never should have sold, and
after some quality time with it I realized there was a non-functioning
slider. I was hoping a good cleaning was all it needed, but after a few
shots of CaliLube MCL I discovered a break in a conductive "trace" (for lack
of the proper name) - so it needs to be replaced. I seem to recall a thread
some time back that sliders are not made to to any real hole spacing
standard, and besides travel length and value (50k in this case), it's a
crap shoot on finding a replacement unless it's from the mfg.

So, my question, does anyone who has replaced JP-4 sliders know of a quality
direct replacement, and a source/part #, etc?  I do plan to call Roland US
in hopes that they  may still have some, but another source would be great,
especially if it's at a "component" price and not a "parts from the factory"
price, since I'd like to replace all 20 sliders. Oh, and if anyone has a few
NOS ones lying about, I'd happily take them off your hands!

All help is greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Daniel
