Buchla uses colored banana jacks, but the 1/8" jacks are normal silver colored metal.

Here's where you can get colored banana panel-mount jacks, if that's what you're asking:

Testpath is a good source for all banana parts and cables.

I use 1/8" phono jacks on my buchlaesque modules, and I've all but decided to paint them the color's of banana jacks because I lik ethe look and concept of color-coded jacks. There's a very creative builder on this forum who has started painting the 1/4" jacks on his MOTM DIY synth, and posted pictures of them under the "pictures of your CGS panels" thread in the Ken Stone sub-forum. They look fantastic.

What I'd really love to get is Buchla 200 style blue and red Rogan Brand colored knobs. I understand that some people here made a group buy for these knobs some years ago. They are a custom job with a minimum order of 1000. If ten, or so, people wanted in, we could each get 100 knobs for maybe $100, or so.

Interested? I'll start a thread.
