One occasionally sees Prophet-5 knob sets on eBay from Hong Kong (obviously not original knobs). Can't testify to their quality, but they do at least resemble the originals. At the moment there don't seem to be any for sale. You'll just have to keep a look out for them. Otherwise Wine Country may have some: WineCountryProductions,Inc. |

The Pro-One conversion kit at synthwood.com includes "Prophet 5 style knobs." That might work... Custom Synthesizer Woodworking

If you are doing some restoration to a Prophet 5 I highly suggest replacing the bushings on the Pratt-Read keyboard. Unless this has been done recently they are probably wasted. It's actually pretty simple and inexpensive. http://home.netcom.com/~arcsound/ I used their bushings, followed their instructions and in an evening my P5 played like it was brand new. The shipment was prompt and they answered any questions that I had. I recommend this with total confidence. FYI - I am not associated with this company in any way. I just love my Prophet 5 to death. 11 years and counting of ownership.
