Emax

Both sliders are the same part.

I did it and it made a world of difference.
I just went to Radio Shack as my other local choice was already closed.
It cost me $10.99. Contact Cleaner / Lubricant.
They had 2 different cleaners, but this one specifically said  
lubricant on it, where the other one did not.

Ted

OK, cool. If it works, let me know what brand you used and the results  
you got.  I'll jump in and do it.  Thanks for the info on EPR.  Should  
I assume that the volume and data sliders are the same part?

As to the volume sliders- you can get them from EPR Electronics, or
you could use contact cleaner and try and clean them.
Mine on the Emax 2 I got are sticky too. I am going to try the contact
cleaner today or tomorrow.
If it doesn't work, then I am ordering new ones.

Hi Ted, Dan here again.

I know we've been emailing back and forth for a few times.  I really
appreciate all your help.  The situation i'm in is this:  I have an
Emax II that I bought on ebay, sitting on my dinning room table.  I've
been going over it and this is what i've found so far.  Both the
volume and data sliders are stiff...they move but without the usual
ease.  The floppy drive seems to be dead.  It also looks to be a mono
unit. It has scsi but at present (because of the floppy) I have no way
of testing it. (I have a jaz drive but if I remember correctly, these
units aren't compatible with those.)

Now the question is....might you feel up to the task of working on
this unit if I were to send it to you?  Do you do that sort of thing?

So I am seriously looking into recreating this upgrade.

I need to do this to mine.

Having done some research, it appears that the price would be between
$75

and $100 for the upgrade.

This due to the fact that the CS5326 is an expensive component to
source.

Originally, EMU sold the upgrade for $150.

Is anyone interested in this?

Let me know.

Regards,

Ted
