Re: [elektron] MnM - plastic covering is coming off

2007-08-20 by Joseph Melnyk

i've taken both md and mnm's apart before.  do not use a screwdriver  
to pry the knobs off.  its tempting, as they're on there very  
tightly.  but you can do it with just your fingers.  just pinch it  
with your thumb and first finger and wedge your fingers against the  
face plate to apply pressure there while pulling upwards.  it'll take  
a minute, but they'll come up.  the main thing is to pull straight  
up.  do not put any sideways pressure on or you'll snap the encoder  
and you'll have to send the whole unit in to replace it.

anyway, it can be done and it's not that bad but you just need to be  
careful.  good luck!
