In the meantime I tried the knobs for the Radio / Boom - they fit well and will prevent the the sticky feeling. First touch might be "special" as they are of hard material and there is an edge at the front (no surprised as described by the ebay seller). I have not yet tried the stickers, however they look professional and given the positive experience with the knobs and the very detailed and honest description on ebay on the knobs and on the stickers, I am very confident that the stickers work as well. Thus another big thumbs up on rescuing the Booms and Radios which have an excellent hardware foundation except of the front panels.... Together with JoeMuc2009 this is an excellent resource for Booms :-) Among 4 radios and 1 boom playing 8 years in my appartment I only have one fatal case (Probably some electronic problem) and that case even will serve me as source for other radios... It seems that there is a market - The seller Donscore renewed his offers: https://www.ebay.de/itm/153792458381 https://www.ebay.de/itm/153791278186 I am in no way associated with the seller - thus this is a true community report to help the community.
