I speak about the knobs themselves, as you can see on this picture, the left one has dents and it contrasts with the rest of the piano that is in pretty good shape on the whole. Anyway thanks for the link, there's a lot of interesting items

Yep, I have to admit that my hollow keys are still "ultra brite" white despite their age 

Hi everybody !
I'm new to Rhodes pianos. The one that I've just bought is from 1973 and the two knobs (bass boost and volume with the F letter on top of them) are really worn out...
I've tried to find new ones or old ones in better shape than mine but I didn't find anything so far.
Do you know if there are any remanufactured knobs somewhere ? 
(PS : I found a thread about it on the forum but unfortunately all the links are dead)

That's interesting because I have the opportunity to buy a not in good shape 1976 stage with wood keys and I was considering swapping keyboards.
But apparently it's not possible without a lot of modifications.
So I'm gonna stick with the hollow keys I believe ...

Thank you very much for this info ! I wasn't aware at all about this... I must admit I prefer the look of "all wood" keys but if there isn't any mismatch on my piano keyboard it's a good news anyway ! 

And then comes my first question : I didn't notice it at first but the keyboard is not wooden made but plastic made as you can see on the pics below. Does it imply it has been replaced by a MarkII one or something like that at some point of its history ?
The seller forgot to mention it and as newbie as I am, I didn't check...

Hello to everybody !
I'm new on the forum and to the Rhodes world !
Here are some pics of my recently purchased 1973 stage 73 (with a non matching sustain pedal from vintage vibe unfortunately...) that I use with a 65 Deluxe Reverb, Boss CE-1 and Electro Harmonix Small Stone.
