A small question:

What is the name/size of the allen wrench or whatever for the screws in Minimoog knobs? Nothing I have fits, and it makes me INSANE.

Thanks, Kevin!

Say, I have another question:
My 1st osc knob was on backwards, so that the pointy part with the line wasn't pointing at the waveforms.
After my brother used it, I found that the line was pointing at the waveforms.
I have no idea how he achieved this and fear that he might have just twisted it around... but I would think that it wouldn't work after that... but it does.
As I know he did not have a 5/64 wrench on him, and the pot feels loose and weird now... what could have happened, do you think?

You should ask him, that is the best way to find out what happened. I'm not being sarcastic. You should just ask him.

I think you should ask him too.

But fwiw, if the knob is slipping because the set screw is loose, that's not a big problem. It will get looser though and end up carving a groove in the shaft.
Steel vs aluminum. Steel wins.

But.. if the selector switch is spinning because its nut is loose, be careful.
It can short out things internally or break wires.

Thank you very much for the info, Kevin. This is exactly what I was looking for!
I think its time that I invest in a 5/64 to figure out what the hell is going on. : )
