it is mecanically broken :/ the thin layer of metal that does the contact has been angled by me tryng to clean it up........... cause it was working only in one direction (only pitch down).. then i used some lubrificant electrician spray and it worked quite properly for a couple of days... so after it stopped work an other time pitching up i have tried to clean inside with a screwdriver :/ from the hole where you seen the thin layer of metal, the contact.......... but i've angled it :/ and now it doesnt work either pitch up and down............................
i also dont know how to open the potentiometer without broken and also how to separate the joystick from the board :( and simply how to do :(

Yes. The potentiometer has 4 pins. 1 pin is a bypass I think so when the joystick is in the middle no resistance value is sent. Maybe the potentiometer can be fixed?

im sure that the potentiometers of the poly 800 have 4 pins not 3 :/ --- In mailto:korgpolyex%40yahoogroups.com, Martin Ator wrote: > > Just in case you missed it, further below in this post is a link to a joystick repair that I did for the Poly-61. I still had the original joystick so I settled on using it in the repair job. There are also some notes with the photos describing what I did. The guy I bought the assembly from doesn't have a knob-less joystick any more. He only has a complete unit. Actually I think it looks better. > > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALPS-2D-10k-Potentiometer-with-handle-for-Joystick-or-Industrial-use-/330846675357?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d07ffa19d > > You remove the potentiometers from the new stick and put the old ones on instead. It's fiddly bending the tabs back that hold the pots on but can be done if you take your time. I also had to mill a larger hole out of the joystick holder for the new assembly. Luckily I have a crappy milling machine in the shed but it could be Dremelled. > > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/korgpolyex/photos/album/1081729022/pic/list >
