Advice on replacement knobs for a Yamaha?

[malanga]

Hello everyone.

I hope you of you could offer a little advice. I recently aquired a really nice Yamaha Receiver. The model is R-300 with black aluminum faceplate and knobs. Problem is that four of the knobs are missing. Works great otherwise. Does anyone know of a source for some nice replacement knobs? I can't seem to find black aluminum knobs that would match. Thanks! :thmbsp:

About the only hope you (we Yamaha owners) have is to find another one and salvage the parts from a non-working unit. They are out there but hard to find. I have a Yamaha R700 and I am missing one of the knobs that are long and sorta skinny. Found an r700 on e--- and it was way too high to purchase just for the knob.

If I find something I'll let you know.

I too am seeking a knob for a Yamaha R-500. Need the long skinny knob, but in silver. Maybe one of us will come up with a donor.

I find find someone who is parting out a silver R-300. He is selling the knobs at $5.00 each. Let me know and I will put you in touch with him. :thmbsp:
