ETA on knob fix?

Is there any updated news or an ETA on the spinning knob fix? My volume knob now doesn't grip at all. The epoxy lump worked for about a week before the epoxy lost its grip on the shaft. It's a royal pain to change the volume of the unit without the knob (4 button presses).

On top of everything else, it's pretty embarassing for Empeg every time I have to explain to someone that I paid $1350 for a stereo and the volume knob doesn't work.

I just put a little piece of tape an the metal and pushed the button back on. Problem solved...

I spoke to the plastic designers on Friday, and they told me they were close to a solution. They're awaiting delivery of some kind of metal insert - I'll keep you up to date.

Once we have a fix we'll manufacture a thousand of them and send replacements to anyone that needs them. There's no need for us to make more than a thousand, because we've changed to a different rotary encoder with a notched shaft and an appropriately modified knob.

This must be costing you guys quite a bit!

That's hardware manufacturing for you!
