Sub37 serial 88XX with plastic pots?

Post by Jobinho » Wed Dec 30, 2015 11:27 am

I've only owned it a few weeks and haven't had a real chance to play with it unit this week. Today I noticed the filter pot wobbling and making a squelch sound.

When removing the filter cutoff potentiometer I noticed to my surprise a plastic shaft as opposed to metal. I had thought they were replaced with metal around SN 5800.

Has my unit been retrofitted with an old board do you think? Perhaps at the store I bought from. I had purchased on the presupposition it had metal pots due to future reliability.

Any info would be really useful before I contact the shop here in the UK.
