Default Re: fighting faders

Hi

I know this is an ongoing issue and it has been for us with our unit but after I had tried endless fader cycle runs and cleaning with compressed air (with some but not total success) a colleague had the idea of rocking the fader caps gently from side to side (not back and forth). To my great surprise this has vastly improved things and although the odd fader drops out this "waggling" has provided a viable (and free) fix.

I think some people may have more serious issues with their faders but in our case it has sorted out a long term problem (around 8 faders on a 24 fader unit fighting, but not always the same ones).

Insultingly simple but try it. It might just work...
