Vintage Synth Repair

This is kind of more of an external hardware search than an internal  
one, so I hope it isn't too off the subject.

I'm looking for rackmount ears for my Roland MKS-7.  Not exactly an  
easy thing to find it seems.  The roland site doesn't seem to have  
anything.  Can you suggest some sort of old synth part clearinghouse...?

Thanks,
Paul

maybe Ranger Audio?

Hi all!

Paul,
I'd the same problem some years ago for mounting some xpanders in a rack 
and I built these "hard to find" ears by myself using aluminium corner I 
found in 2 meters long bar in bricole shops. Aluminium is strong enought 
for this use but is also soft enought to be cut, drilled, filed and even 
painted. And the cost is nothing regarding the price of "all made" 
rackmount ears!
Hope this will help you.
sorry for my english, I'm french

Paul:

If you or another member can send me the exact spec -- dimensions, 
material thickness, hole spacing, etc.  A drawing / sketch will do. I 
am sure I either have something that will fit, or I can cut it out of 
stock for you -- cheap -- a couple bucks plus postage -- unless you 
want anodized titanium, then it will be a little more:-)
