  • Yamaha G100 amp knobs

    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.

          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!
                    This isn't the future I signed up for.
