Remanufactured & New/Old Stock (NOS) Parts
Fortunately it's not hard to find parts today if you know where to look. One thing to keep in mind is that some Rhodes parts were common to other products within CBS Musical Instruments (Fender guitars & amps, Rogers drums, ARP synths, etc.). So if your piano is missing a knob, a Fender knob will probably work as a replacement. And several businesses in the US are dedicated to remanufacturing hardware for vintage keyboards, with the Fender Rhodes being an extremely popular one.
Vintage Vibe services the "Big 3" vintage electric pianos (Rhodes, Wurlitzer & Clavinet) and is a great source of parts for any of them.
