Perhaps one of those little rubber feet is missing?  Adhesive stuff like that is pretty easy to find - maybe some double sided foam tape with one side of the wax paper still on if you can't find rubber feet at the hardware store.

The encoder is probaby the single worse point of failure on the XL-7.  If you pull the knob off, you can shoot some contact cleaner in, but not down the shaft.  Put it into the side where the two halves of the encoder clip together.  If you've got a 1.00 unit, you probably don't have the copper bracket that we added to try to keep the encoder in place.  You'll probably be able to ben up the little clips and open up the encoder to clean it thoroughly.  Be careful with them though, they break easy.

it's 
odd, 
though, 
that 
it 
needs 
a 
folded 
piece 
of 
paper 
under 
one 
of 
the 
bumper 
feet 
to 
keep 
it 
steady... 
there's 
almost 
a 
1/4" 
of 
wobble.

the 
data-wheel 
is 
a 
bit 
jumpy... 
i'd 
check 
the 
archives 
for 
how 
to 
deal 
with 
it, 
but 
the 
search 
has 
been 
down 
for 
a 
few 
weeks. 
should 
i 
just 
shoot 
some 
contact 
cleaner 
into 
it?
