Vintage Synth Repair

I'm restoring a Juno-106 which was missing one of it's voices.  I
was lucky and it was in the digital control circuitry.  However,
the bender module has some problems.  Specifically the bender
potentiometer and the LFO slider potentiometer on that module are
both worn out.

Anyone know of decent replacements or where I could find a bender
module?  Any old parts graveyards out there?

At worst case I can redesign the bender circuit to use a non-center
tapped potentiometer but the LFO slider will be more difficult.

Have you tried Roland? I replaced an entire Juno 106 Pitch Bender assembly a
few years ago. I don't know what their inventory is like now. I believe I
still have the old broken assembly if you are interested. The thin plastic
that acted as a spring is the only thing broken. I believe the pot is intact
and functions. Let me know if your interested. fingerz@...

Hello, I'm new here, just joined. If you haven't found the parts you 
need yet I have a couple of stripped 106s with those parts still 
intact. If you are interested let me know.

there are a couple of places to get parts--some a little expensive, but then some parts aren't made anymore so we pay.  Ranger Audio is one.  Route 66 Studios is another possiblity
