Octatrack encoder wearing off

Infact to me happened 3 years ago…then I got warranty replacement. Now, since 4/5 months, I’ve found another two encoders with this behavior…
And this time would cost me quite a bit…

I wonder if they can be replaced for the new style pots that are supposed to be more rigid? Thought that they mentioned that the Digitakt ones are going to be solid in comparison to the old boxes.

I fixed a “same” problem on my OT
I had one encoder that not respond
Skiping numbers etc
A friend took of the cover and under the knob clean de optic track with alcool thats all
works like a charm since
the knobs are very easy to remove. You have to act slowly for all pieces
I think this is very easy and saving me to send it

Optic ? Contact Spray is better than alcohol no ?

Let say this is his method. have to ask him what sort of alcohol

And how it’s used exactly…
My solution of drinking it only works temporarily!
:beers:

You shouldn’t drink spray. :grin:
