Yamaha R-500 Natural Sound replacement knobs.

Hi,

I’m missing one of the flat selector knobs on my Yamaha R-500. I can’t find them anywhere.

Has anyone been able to locate a replacement knob source?

There is one on eBay right now. No affiliation - this what you're looking for?

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for all morning. Thank you!!

The parts list in the manual calls it a “knob switch” and I hadn’t tried “paddle knob”.

many thanks!

Few years too late to the party but I have a related question - do you get them off by just pulling straight out, or is there some mechanism for releasing them?

Knob in the original post has a set screw. Typically a 1.5 or 2 mm hex. If there is no hole for a set screw then they usually pull off.

Wow, thanks so much @Punker X !
You're right, there is a small hex under the button, don't know how i missed it.
