loose Cursor wheel/knob
2011-02-15 by Mike Yates
Evening, only after about a couple years using my
1100, the cursor knob is really wobbly, like the more I have used it the looser
it gets. how can I fix this or is it damaged forever?

Hi Mike
Is it loose on the shaft or is the whole shaft wobbly?
My S1000 has a split shaft which can be 'opened' out slightly with a flat bladed screwdriver to improve the grip of the control knob onto the shaft. If the whole shaft is loose then the encoder may need replacing ( an Alps part I think).
regards Carl

Hi, I've come across the exact same problem on a X7000, a S01 and a S1000, luckily it is an incredibly easy fix. *Gently* pull of the knob - at the bottom of the shaft you'll see a 6 sided nut. Just tighten it with a pair of needle nose pliers (you can take the whole thing to bits and use a spanner etc. to tighten - using needle nose pliers just means you can get at it easier) Good Luck Brian --- In akaiS1000S1100Samplers@yahoogroups.com, "Mike Yates" <crazymike99@...> wrote:

Thanks carl and blewis, you had me worried there if
I had to replace the encoder, lucky it was just that nut behind the wheel. used
some tweezer things to tighten. thanks guys!
