Actually, I retrofitted my Octave Cat with standard MOTM knobs
because of the same problem (not to mention a few missing...) They
work perfectly. Digi-Key also sells the colored slider caps that are
identical to the old ones Octave used... even in the same colors.
That, and some new Pratt-Read keyboard grommets, and the synth will
be practically (cosmetically, at least) like new.
