Or raise the encoder quality if it's not just a single issue.
Now given the way ALPS catalogues are made, I can understand Elektron 
if they stick to these ;)

Now it's rather logical the mecanic parts wear off. It's part of their 
job unfortunately.

It's a common repair on Nord modulars too (the big encoder dial). As 
it's a standard part, no problem.
