The only place that I could find them is on MPCStuff for $50 for one pot. Jeez...
Hopefully someone else can source one and post a valid part number.

MPC4000 Q LINK ROTARY KNOB POT: $12.00

Part number Listed in Service Manual: VR ROTARY RK14K124 L20 B103X2 -- I found a couple of potential parts on http://www.mouser.com . However I'm not sure if it's the correct one. Just go to the site and search Part # RK14K124 and see if that's the same ones.

Tact Switch is .25 cent US per or 50 for $10.10

Yep these will work.
Same tact switches as for the 2000, 2000XL, 4000, 2500, 5000 and ASR-10.
Stick with a reputable store like mouser or digikey for quality Alps or Omron tact switches. Don’t go cheap and get ones off of eBay.

I bought a set from an Electronic Store and had to return them, because they were a lower profile. :lol: Thank goodness I tested one before pulling them all.
