crackling knobs

2005-05-31 by mono_swede

Hi !

I have a problem with some crackling knobs on my mono / poly. It´s the
main volume knob and the pw width knob. Does anyone know if this
problem could be fixed and how ?

Thanks in advance /

Martin

Thanks Gunti,

I have never opened the case before, so I´m not quite shure exactly
what you mean. Could all the crackling knobs (in my case its volume,
the pw witdh and one of the VCO volume knobs) be fixed by exchanging
only one part ? Or is it rather one "Trim-Resistor" to exchange per
crackling knob and how do I find the right replacement part ?

Best Regards /

Martin
