someone here can help

someone here can help

2003-05-23 by John Whiting

sorry to bring up the tech problem thing just when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, but this is kind of different 

my MD has had a faulty encoder since i bought it,  it wouldnt coarse adjust which i could live with. 

 however i wrote to elektron (who replied quickly actually) , and asked if they could send me a new encoder for me to replace myself. 

 it will void the warranty, but i am a electronics tech by trade so i trust i can replace it without f*&king it up.(please god).

anyway there is someone on the list who has taken MD apart before, can they let me know of any tips when dismantling to help the 'procedure' go without tradgity

thank heaps

lahonda.

I watched one of the Elektron guys do the operation on mine, and here
are the little things that I remember:

* Electrical tape on a screwdriver when removing the encoders+master
  volume+track level plastic knobs to avoid scratching the surface
* Torque screwdrivers in the right size

That's all that I can remember. Good luck!
