I have no part number but both my SDS-1's suffered the same when I 
bought them. Just open the unit and check the back of the pot for the 
correct value. Shouldn't be too tricky since 99% of all pots are marked 
on the housing itself.

Regarding the knob they're made by Cliff Electronics and I think Farnell 
has them too. Elfa sell them under the name K85 AFAI remember but they 
don't sell the blue/green caps.

Great to hear that the brain is working. It's easier to get a knob or 
whatever than sorting out messy digital oddness...
