Does anyone know where I can get the replacement "record" and "overdub" buttons?
Also I need a few of those little blue buttons ..the data entry ones.
The only ones I saw for replacement are purple.
I did not see the overdub or record buttons.
Also , does anyone know who carries the round data entry knob?
A heavy piece fell on my 3000 and broke the overdub button and then I broke the rest trying to "fix" that one.
I opened it in a sloppy manner not realizing what was involved.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.


Check your PM's dood.

A friend pulled some strings ( imagine having to do that for buttons? ha) for me and got them from vst then shipped them to me.
I actually like those gray buttons better than the OG white ones. I am about to change the "locate" set to the same color.
I don't love that purple ( the data entry buttons ) but in person it looks better than in the pictures. I might switch all those blue ones to purple later.
Are you missing buttons also? Do you know of any place that sells a skin for the 3000 like they do for the 2000xl and others?
Or some ideas for paint / artwork. See the scratches near the arm rest on my 3000? I wanna cover those up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I hide the scratches on my 60 with war boats model kits paint , i had to mix differents tones
( they have thousand of different greys ) but it really did the job ! ( and it's good quality and fast drying )
