Subject: [analogorgans] Hi, Group - need help - NOT ANY MORE :)
IT'S FIXED! I DID IT!!!
So, I've been forwarding all your idea emails to a friend of mine, who,
while he's no electrical engineer, can at least tell a capacitor from a
potentiometer. He came over tonight to have a look see and help me
troubleshoot by running through some of these great ideas you all have been
giving me.
We started with Kenneth's idea of dirty potentiometers, and that turned
out to be it! My friend helped me ID them (I'm sure everyone else knows what
they are from looking at those photos I posted on shutterfly, but, well, I had
no earthly idea until my friend was like "those are your potentiometers").
Then he taught me the "poor man's way" (or, in my case, the
oh-my-gosh-do-I-really-have-to-un-solder-those-things-there-must-be-another-way
way) to clean them: take a screwdriver and spin them back and forth a bunch
of times. So I tried it on one, and VOILA! Static almost all gone! So I did
the second one and came back to the first one again and now all is right
with the world. :)
Thanks to everyone!!!
Now, if only my stand light worked, my upper pedal notes didn't stick,
the keys on the great weren't all uneven and clacky...
