Broken Faders on EMS Synthi 100

I work at a recording studio and the owner has tasked me with replacing the broken faders on our Synthi100. The fader itself is functional its pretty much just the knob that has broke off and no one can seem to figure out how to fix it. Maybe a bit simple but anything helps!

Looks like you’ll have to take out that module and replace the slider potentiometer.

Hopefully you can remove the broken tab from the slider and put it back on the new pot.
