Bloody data slider's gone...

[ProudEmaxOwner]

Started off with it jumping all over the place, now it only works one out of five times, and when it does, it jumps 5 banks at a time...one of me keys has gone (cleaned all contacts and springs...) and my Korg Electribe has blown its transistors. Bloody great day all round then!

Any ideas?

Data sliders aren't too difficult to replace if you can get the part and are comfortable with a soldering iron. As for the dead key, double check that the contact wire is properly connected. I had the same problem after completely disassembling my Emax II keybed. It may be a simple fix

Thanks- I managed to find someone who was cannibalising an Emax so I got replacements for my three smashed keys (do people drop things on their keyboards or what?!) but I can't find anyone selling the parts for the slider.

I recently purchased some replacements from EPR Electronics. However, they are located here in the US. I suspect you are in the UK? Might be a bit excessive for a single slider, but, if there are other parts you need it might be worth looking into placing an order.
