URGENT -- Rotary encoder dead - 27/06/2006 05:32
Hello,
I have send several mails to Empegrepair without getting any answer.
I have now my rotary encoder changing the volume in "standalone mode" without my interaction.
So can anybody tell me where I can sens or who can I contact to send my Empeg MKII to exchange my encoder ?
I appreciate your help.
Best regards,
David (CH)

Your other option is Eutronix, as linked to from the top of the BBS. Not as convenient, but they might be faster. For the rotary encoder, you would probably just need to send the display board.
I believe the encoder is all through-the-whole soldering, so you could order one and try and find someone local to you to install it. I'm sure you can find instructions on replacing it if you search the BBS.

Txs, I have send a mail to Enrotronix and waitt an answer.
I agree with your suggestion to order an encoder locally and find someone here to do the modificatioin, but... What kind of encoder should I order ? Does anybody know the part number ?...

From the
FAQ entry on Jumpy Encoder, it looks like an Alps EC11E-15244.
A quick search on Mouser.com, shows that this
part is available.

I believe Robricc also has some, you could give him a pm.

Whatever you do, don't try to replace the encoder yourself unless you really really really know what you're doing. It's a particularly tricky job, even for experts. You could ruin your display board by pulling up traces as you try to remove the old encoder.
By the way, you guys giving him part numbers: You didn't even ask him if he has a 2 or a 2a, and they're different parts...

Per my previous posting, the length of the Mouser replacement for the 2a doesn't match the original but works okay...
