Dial knob broken (replacement parts for MPC?)

My Dial knobs pot (the big black one that goes rata-ta-ta-ta..) needs
replacing. It 100% broken, since some fool dropped my MPC.

A tech opened the machine and the pot is physically broken, so please don't give me good advice on how to clean a pot.. heh...

Anyone know where I can get one?
Anyone know where to get replacement parts for MPCs generally?

My warranty is long gone and there is no local dealer here in Finland Europe at the moment...

Yes jesus in person. Thanks for the link. I also contacted thomann.de

Shalom Shus, to you too brother!

The problem seems to be that akai uses 'internal' reference numbers to their parts and not the standard part codes so it is almost impossible to order spare parts as you have no reference number. So every damn silly little spare part has to go via akai... until someone finds a document that tells what the akai part numbers refer to... this is what my tech guy told me.

The thing we, all active users at mpc-tutor site, need to collect is - a list of the most standard spare parts, pots, slider, screen, plugs so that users can replace commonly breaking parts their mpcs themselves or at a local tv/radio shop. If you're touring you could keep these parts available at all times...

It is quite common for DJs to 'repair' and change their faders themselves, some DJ mixers even have quick-locking connectors so you can deal with the operation at maximum speed and the only tool you need is a common screwdriver or allen wrench.

Also guitarist keep spare tubes and spare strings and cables with them...
