Doepfer Knob Change

via the Dieter Doepfer on the Doepfer Yahoo Group: "I just wanted inform you that the knob manufacturer (ReAn Sulzer/ Switzerland) has stopped the production of the knobs that were used in the A-100, MAQ16/3 and other products. We tried to buy the productions tools from ReAn as they are no longer used. But ReAn was not willing to sell the moulds. We are about to find another manufacturer who is able to produce a copy of the knob but I'm not sure if the copies will look exactly the same. I assume that all modules manufactured until end of this year will still be equipped with the original ReAn version of the knobs. But from early in 2012 the modules will be delivered little by little with the new knobs. We will try to get new knobs that look as close as possible to the old ones but I'm not sure if there may be a small noticeable difference.
Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer"



Although Doepfer went with a new design with the Dark Energy & Dark Time, it's hard to imagine the A-100 without the classic gray knobs.
