Re: [korg_mono-poly] MG1 knob

Hello Sophie

Do you need to replace the knob (the plastic thing, which sticks on the 
the potentiometer) or the potentiometer itself? If it is the 
potentiometer then: what is the failure with it? Usually cleaning the 
potentiometer solves the most problems.

If you really have to replace the potentiometer: it is a 10kOhm 
logarithmic potentiometer. Basically it is a potentiometer from the 
company ALPS, which is still available, but unfortunately you won't get 
the exact model with the mounting stands. You may try to find a similar 
potentiometer without the stands, and then put the inards of the new 
potentiometer into the housing of the old one.

Kind regards, Florian
