Hey guys,
The level dial/knob on my 1086 broke completely off. Its the wierdest thing I have ever seen. The plastic bit still had the metal in it, and it looks like a laser cut which severed the 2. Seriously, its that wierd. I think it must have broken when I was carrying it from the car to the studio, the front plate facing me.
So I dont see anyway of reattaching the piece, short of using superglue which just seems like a waste of time, since im glueing metal. This means I may have to replace that component alltogether.
I am no electrician, so my knowledge here is really at the base of the learning curve. I think I need to replace component VR5 (refering to PCB board of the UltraXL schematic)... but remember mine is a 1086.
My question is, what is that component called? Can I just run to a Radio Shack equivalent here and buy one or is there a certain capacitance/resistance? Is it a solder job I can do by myself?
Many thanks guys!
Cheers,
Ashish
