Hi there!

There are chips (original replacement OEM) on ebay. They are filter
chips, I believe...the link is:

http://cgi.ebay.com/6pcs-LAST-REV-CEM3372-Oberheim-Akai-Sequential-Circuits_W0QQitemZ7351562180QQcategoryZ38071QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

As far as the potentiometers (the pots/knobs), you can just look at
these, then go to your local electronic supply store & order
these...or if 1 is broke off, just take it there & they can match it.

Just trying to help...hope it helps!
