Sampler maintenance and upgrade

A proper Prophet 2002 repair and upgrade

I actually found a guy selling a 2nd hand R-235 potentiometer as well as the knob that goes on it. I got it in my mail about a week ago and tonight I decided to remove my ugly replacement and put the right part in.
While I had it open on my workbench I also decided it's a good opportunity to install the Lotharek SDHxC SD card floppy emulator.

Replaced Prophet 2002 data potentiometer.

This is so stupid...
Whyyyyy!? Sequential Circuits Inc...
They like pissing people off by using potentiometers that are ever so slightly smaller than your standard off-the-shelf potentiometers.
They're called R-235 and seem to be linear 10k potentiometers.
Here are the measurements I got (using a caliper) from the one I removed.

This didn't cost me much (around 115 Euro) and I was curious to see how I'd feel about owning a hardware sampler again.
It's the Sequential Circuits Inc (or SCI for short) Prophet 2002 plus!

Yeah, a broken knob :(
