The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

You can take a look at:
http://www.doepfer.de/home_e.htm
they sell synthesizer kits and parts, maybe you can find something 
equivalent, these ribbon controllers are not "Yamaha specific". But 
you'll have probably to deal with a different size and connector .

Or else try :
http://www.synthzone.com/repair.htm
http://www.vintageplanet.nl/
http://www.touched-by-sound.com/en/Vintage-Vintage_Synth_Keys-Synthesizer.html
http://www.synthrepairservices.com/
http://www.synthmuseum.com/resources.html

....and "fleabay" for a defunct AN1x or 2nd hand spare parts, who knows ?
Our beloved keyboard is going old now...but people still play and 
sometimes repair much older machines.
Cheers.
