Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Often I factor in

1 - availability of parts
2 - my skill level v my time demands
3 - cost of full replacement

I figure the BCR is cheap enough that the good people of Behringer (spelt Korg?) think "buy another one!".

Of course, Alps make nice rotary encoders. As do the Chinese factories that copy them. So Google translate (or ability to read Chinese) _could_ save you a small fortune.

Or a broken BCR from eBay ... where you can desolder the parts and/or make your mistakes on a broken piece of kit first might be fun.

Prevention is better than cure ... these units need to be protected from dropping/falling.

So a new or broken one of Ebay might get folks the parts they seek ... but at £99 with 1 or more years guarantee seems like a good deal to me.

In the meantime I build my own hardware too.
