Alesis Andromeda A6

After having problems with my A6, whereby turning the mod wheel messed 
up the system and brings up parameter screens and the sound gets 
totally weird, I opened it up and pressure-blew the mod wheel pot to no 
avail.
I just had a synth repair guy come over and he sprayed some cleaning 
fluid that temporarily fixed the problem. He said I should change the 
pot because it has deteriorated and is sending too many unexpected 
signals to the OS and this throws it off.
It looks like an off-the-shelf part and there is no value prited on it; 
measured 5K or something but most likely would be a 8 or 10K pot.

Does anyone have a schematic or know the value of the pot? Any details 
are appreciated.

Thanks,
Ra

or more direct: look under files->service manual

thanks Sunny, that is some awesome info.

Unfortunately, I could not find the MOD pot in the diagrams. 
If any of you circuit-diagram experts can find it in there, please let 
me know.

Yes you are right - can't find it anywhere (and I am an 'expert' - 
having the A6 diagrams is sheer gear porn :-)

There is an input for the pots, but as the pots themselves aren't on 
a PCB I think they got skipped unfortunately.

All the other control pots are 5KB linear, which the Mod and Pitch 
are likely to be - but not guaranteed as they go through a different 
buffer circuit from everything else.


Does the current pot have any numbers or marking on it at all?
