Info much appreciated, thank you.

I just ordered one of those encoders for my 4014, thanks rsjsouza! The menu selector has been my #1 beef with it, can't wait to replace it.
While we're talking about control mods, does anyone know of a source for gray knobs with rubber overmolding like the ones Keysight ships on their newer scopes?

I'm sure those particular knobs were custom ordered, but it's a little disappointing that I can't seem to find anything roughly comparable. Even "gray, no markings" seems to narrow the options down to ~0, nevermind the overmolding. Hopefully the problem is with my filter-fu and not the actual market supply, am I looking in the wrong place?

jjoonathan, I suspect that either Keysight or eBay will be your best bet. Being custom made, I couldn't find them even in a large supplier of knobs such as this one. This other one has some near misses.
jjoonathan:
Sure enough, there's an ebay shop that sells exactly what I'm looking for, just not at a price I'm willing to pay. Ah well.

Thanks for those other two links. As you say, plenty of near misses.

You do get ten of them and I'm sure there's other ebayers who are looking to buy less than ten, so... see if you can figure out a way to get yours for free. :popcorn:
