MOTM

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.
