Location: New South Wales, Australia | Hello moonraker and welcome to the OFC. It's early evening down here in Australia and I can never remember the time difference but I think it's very early in the morning in some parts of the US so a lot of our very knowledgable members are still sleeping. But this is the place to be and someone will be able to help you. Unfortunately I'm not one those members with lots of knowledge but I just wanted to say G'day from downunder :)
Just out of curiosity, what's Iceland like in August? |

Location: South of most, North of few | moonraker, that seems to be a common problem with the stacked knob system. If you have time, the boys at the factory will be back this coming week from vacation, and I'm sure they could send you a set. Or, you could try to find an electronics store in your neck of the woods and find something that would work on a temporary basis. |

Location: Copenhagen Denmark | Hi Moonraker, and Welcome......about your little problem,is n`t Finland full of Electronic parts and knowledgable radiotech`s..?..changing a potentiometer and findig the knobs for it is n`t the hardest thing to do,would n`t a few marks and a bottle of moonshine for the local tech take care of it.. :)
But when U`re not in a hurry and want to do it right,then calling the factory to get the parts is a Good Idea,U still may have to hand over that bottle of moonshine to the local tech though... ;)

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Moonraker, this is exactly what happened to my Legend Ltd about 10 years ago. A quick e-mail to the factory produced a new set of knobs within a few days, no questions asked. The factory service department is marvelous. |
