Yamaha G100 amp knobs

[BobSkippy]

Greetings,
I got a 'fix it and it's yours' Yamaha G100 212 amp recently. A few of the pot shafts had broken off, which is why I got it free.

Finding replacement pots (split/knurled shaft) wasn't all that big a deal. Finding the knobs is another matter altogether, though!

Yamaha's part # for the G100 knobs is 305400CB800820. Of course, Yamaha's parts department doesn't seem to have them, so that's out...

To digress a bit, I had a SWEET Lab Series L5 - another freebie - that I had to replace the power cord, speakers, and knobs. I found that one of the Moog synthesizers used the SAME knobs, so that problem was solved. Sadly, it got ripped off...

Getting back to my G100, does anyone know of a source where I can get 4 knobs for it, either original, repro, or close enough that it's not too noticeable?

Thanks!

I don't doubt Yamaha doesn;t have them, the amp is almost 50 years old.

It is conceivable you might find the same knobs, but really, just find a whole new set of something that looks good and replace them all. You could even then sell the remaining real Yamaha knobs on ebay.

I would go with the 'push on' Marshall silver cap knobs.

BobSkippy, I'd suggest you remove your email address or you will get junk mail beyond belief. If someone wants to get hold of you they can use the Private Message system by clicking on your user name.

g1,
Good idea!

Back in the days when I was the 'Forum Guru' for Gibson & Epiphone's user forums, I usually included my email, just so users could contact me directly if they needed to.

Force of habit... ;-)

Jazz P Bass,
Thanks! Those look pretty cool!

My Yamaha won't start thinking it's a Marshall, though, will it? ;-)

It might, this is show biz after all.

Some of the old HH Scott receivers used that style knob as well. In the typical marshall brown though.

I think with those that JazzP linked being black, they should look good.

You'll need one of these for the Marshall sound.

I see the seller offers a 2 year protection plan $4.99 for this part, what a howl. Thanks for my morning shot of humor!
