don ´t know about those pots on ob-8, but i think replacing these
should be possible if you know the specs. maybe you can open it, to
see what what exact kind of poti it is. It could be hard to find
exactly the same pots, so you might have to use similar ones with same
basic specs. I did replacements like this for other analog synth by
myself tho...
