I looked everywhere for grey and orange knobs, but didn't find anything, except those DJM 500 replacement knob, but they're so expensive https://www.soundbasemegastore.com/1949 ... a1191.html
Soft touch d shaft knobs will be nice enough! I don't know for the color, black and orange as the level ones on the yocto?

Yes, these are nice but too expensive. The black/orange knobs for the Yocto are probably the easiest choice, but I am not sure that with the blue display are the best choice.

Oops! :oops: In this case could be these, slightly expensive because aluminum

FC7251 is D shaft

Hi,
I can not find a knob-like originals.
Knowing that the original is dark gray and orange. And we can't take copies, on ebay findable because TR909 knobs are provided for the TR909 case, because there is a lot of empty space between the PCB and the front panel.

These are cheap but ugly:

Too expensive, but the same with orange edging would be suitable:

hi,

a friend of mine is the CEO of a plastic parts manufacturer in germany.
later this day I'll show him the original parts and ask if it's possible to make a replica of the original 909 knob and what it would cost. I'll let you know.

best,
Sub

I think that those TR909 knob's, have too long deeper shaft; 25mm. :!: And that the section of the bottom part is to much, if nava pots are standard shaft length 20mm. Maybe should see a preview with the housing nava. Ideally, like the knobs, but not exactly the same, or cut the skirt.

I know... I have a 909 :mrgreen:
the knobs must be adapted of course so that they'll fit the Nava pots.
I'll take care about and let you guys know what my buddy tells me.
