Hey John

I squirted some contact cleaner down into the pot of the Big Knob - it
did help some but not completely, my understanding is that the rotary
brush contacts wear out and the pots need to be replaced. They cost
about $10, available from EPR Pro (Emu's service contractor) and my
understanding is that it is easy to remove the worn out pot and
install the new one, altho I have not done it yet. That guy at EPR
said "Easy" -

good luck - keep us posted

Ed
