[sdiy] Roland System 100m - seeking component info for DIY project

I'm toying with the idea of making an ersatz Roland System 100m from
Frequency Central PCBs and home-rolled panels.

I want my panels to be the same as the original 100m 191J, with
sliding pots and switches, octave selectors, etc.

My current idea is to choose a slightly smaller panel (MOTM 3.5" x
8.75") than the original (4.1" x 9.1") so I can house 5 in a 19" rack
with MOTM mounting rails. But that's not cast in stone.

And I haven't thought about the mult utility panel yet.

So I would like to know what length of sliding pots were used, what
diameter knobs, if the slider caps are still available, or anything
else that might help. Even what connections, if any, were normalized.
I know the connectors were 3.5mm jacks.

I have PDFs of the owner's manual and service manual, but there isn't
any detailed dimensional info in those.

Thanks for any help. :)
