There's a seller on eBay that sells parts for vintage synths (mostly Roland) and I'm pretty sure I've seen JU-106 sliders. Go to eBay's "Advanced Search" and search for seller ID: chipsforbrains

how long is the throw? if they are 30mm (many are) Mouser Electronics has ALPHA pots that MIGHT work. Different mounting pins... may need to drill holes and solder jumpers.

Go to Mouser.com and enter 312-9000F-(value) or 312-9100F-(value)

(vlaue= 1K, 5K, 10K, etc.)

They have ALPS sliders, but 45mm is the smallest.

I know that vintageplanet.nl has these. In fact, just this year, they sold me a completely new set! The price wasn't bad and shipping to the US was quick and painless. He sells exact duplicates of the original slider that he has had remanufactured (via the original manufacturer?). A big problem finding suitable replacements elsewhere is that the shaft is tapered. If you don't get a tapered shaft, the original caps probably won't fit. So, you'd have to modify other sliders.

I am not an employee or representative of vintageplanet.nl, but I can say without hesitation that I'd do business with them again.
