[AH] Re: [sdiy] Waldorf Q rebuild project...

[Rude 66]

that is absolutely amazing, and a nice job! i can't even imagne the mess
it'd be if i tried that..;-)

but i'd be a little alarmed if it already needs new encoders after what you
describe.. i've taken gear on the road for years and it is in a smokey room,
but i've never had to do anything like that.. although i must say the
waldorf pulse's pots have become a little loose and probably need to be
resoldered. it soundsl ike those encoders  can't stand much abuse..
