oh, I am so stupid

2004-05-27 by Gene Schwartz

Well, you have to understand - I have no hardware skills at all, but I am
still somewhat impressed at my incompetence...

I glanced over at my Machinedrum, and I noticed that one of the knobs had
somehow broken clean off. I have no idea how it happened, and though I could
venture a guess, that's not so important at this point. So, I figured that
it should be easy to fix - you shouldn't have to send back a synth for
repair for something so trivial. So, I took some super glue and tried to
glue it back. LOL - now I've totally ruined it - the underlying mechanism is
totally stuck now - must have gotten too much glue on it or something.

There must be an easy way to fix this - maybe remove the top and replace the
whole knob...anyone know about this kind of thing?

Embarassed...
