Nord Lead 3 encoder replacement parts (UK)?

Hi all.

Has anyone, by any chance, found compatible replacement parts for the Nord Lead 3 and G2 in terms of encoders?

My NL3 patch selector encoder has developed a glitch in one area.

Clavia/Nord forum does mention a few possible replacement Bourns parts, but no reports on success/failure. I suspect the connected hole pitches aren’t quite the same, but reckon a good electronics person could make the connections…

I’ve seen a thread on the buttons, but not for encoders. Thanks!

As they have the same encoders, may be try asking on the electro-music G2 forum

In case anyone else needs the info - I’ve now sorted this.

I ordered a replacement from them. It’s not 100% identical to the the failing one in my NL3, but it works.

If you do go that route, I’d make sure that you also order a new plastic knob from them, to go along with the encoder. The old knob doesn’t fit on the new encoder stem.
