Re: [xl7] Re: Jumpy numbers

2002-12-12 by David DeciBel

I have the fortunate convenience of having a good friend that happens to be
one of the best techs in the midwest.  he looked at the encoder and jiggled
it and said "looks like a piece of crap encoder..." - he said that basically
it's cheaply made and so on.  We sprayed some sort of lube on it which
didn't really help.  Now I don't know if he's just kinda second guessing or
what, but I would like to get this fixed...  My unit is no longer under
waranty.  Anyone know of a way to get a better quality encoder?  EMU peeps?
I wouldn't want to replace it knowing that it might go out again in 6
months...

Thanks...  Everything else is great...
