Touch Sensor Level Knobs
Touch Sensor Level Knobs Posted on: 25.06.2009 by Jenelle Are HI last evening
I was adjusting the touch sensor dial on my regular vci-100 and it snapped off. Does anyone knnow where I coul get a replacement for this. The dial has EO1 or 103 written on it, depending which way you look I guess. cheers for the help. anj | |

Anyway I need it fixed more than anything so I can use it at work, and the process i'm going through is slow slow slow! |
| Stephania Leandri 07.08.2009 | As I posted earlier, one of my adjustment pots broke too, within 2 or 3 adjustments. Fortunately, the dutch representative of Vestax (URS) fixed my VCI within days. Although only one was broken, they replaced both trimpots (Sensor Level adj.)by some high quality pots. These pots feel much more robust. I've requested URS to forward me the exact brand and Part Number, so I could share it with you guys. They have not shared it with me (yet), but I'll ask again this week. You do not want to replace your crappy pots by the same crappy pots, so as soon as I get this information, I'll share it with you guys. I still believe it's a bad call from Vestax to save a few cents on the Sensor Level adjustment and put in cheap pots on the VCI-100's....but I'm satisfied with the great support from ToneControl and URS for handling my claim.

| 05.08.2009 | Vestax is aware of the situation and are fixing the problem. In the meantime we are going to request some replacements to send to people with this issue. |
| Jamila Seigal 04.08.2009 | cheers dude, vestax got back to me with just their website I sent them a general email, but will get on this. I got my vci from ebay though, only a few weeks ago and its in mint condition, will this effect things I wonder. Will update the result on here, cheers necko |

| Jamila Seigal 04.08.2009 | Please Help I'm fuming! The sensitivity switch (Touch Sensor Level) at the back of my vci has snapped off, I have not forced or stressed the switch. (labelled EO1). The problem is i am not getting any control using that jog wheel now, how can I resolve this issue? I looks like a solder joint that hold the whole thing together. This is an issue I can't afford right now as have a New club opening to do next week. How can this be resolved? and where can I get a replacement, is it easy enought to fix? I'm waiting on the firmware update & overlay so maybe fix the lot while I have the case off? Soldering etc is not a strong point of mine Arghhh! this has really stressed me out now, i've had issue after issue TSP and now this! :eek: Thanks for the help and info from this community . |

| Bobbi Kilde 23.07.2009 | I just post mes.on vestax community , i hope that they will point us from where we can fix this shity knobs....I will post here their answer... |
| Arturo Danler 22.07.2009 | Same issue here, a while ago the left wheels touch sensor knob fell off. I found a potentiometer of similar resisitance to the original and soldered it in, with some very unexpected results. Somehow now the cross fader curve knob now acts as the touch sensor control aswell as cross curve. Tbh this isnt a prob for me as I only use slow fades and dont scratch. Still though vestax need to up their build quality with this part. |
| Stephania Leandri 19.07.2009 | Same Here. Just received my VCI 100 and the 'touch sensor level' knob broken. Given the reactions at this community , it looks like Vestax has a Quality issue on these pots. Has anyone complained with Vestax already...and had a response (e.g. will they send out pots to customers for replacement....would be cheaper then a recall). Regards, |

| Earnest Spink 03.07.2009 | I have two VCI-100(one as backup), on my performance VCI-100 the sensors are about to fall out. I only set them twice, three times at most. I do not touch them anymore. And on my almost unused backup VCI-100 I set them once as they were wobbly from the beginning... Would definitly love to having the option of replacing them... |
| Fernando Russom 01.07.2009 | I'm currently having the same issue. Too bad for me, i can't measure the trimpots properly because both are broken I get "default" resistance values now and i need the variable resistance range in order to replace them properly. As for the code "103", this should mean that they are 10000 Ohm or 10 kOhm. I also contacted Vestax to get some technical information about these components, lets wait and see and hope for the best Edit: some typos |
| Bobbi Kilde 01.07.2009 | it will fall away if u touch it, dont touch it man . . . for what u use this buttons, i didnt have time to test it...can i put some other replacement ? |
| 30.06.2009 | one of mine has fallen out now. i'm afraid to tweak the remaining one now. |
| Bobbi Kilde 28.06.2009 | i just recive my new vci100, open it, take my screw driver, i touched vci100 like a woman and my touch sensor level buttons fall away i didnt have time even to see what this sensors do |
| 28.06.2009 | yeah- Vestax has been having problems with those lately. Be careful with your sensor knobs! Let me see if we can order some from them to send out to people with this problem. Subscribe to this thread if you are interested. |
| Bobbi Kilde 27.06.2009 | i have same problem here, my 2 sensors fall away . . . is there a way to repalce this shity butons ... |
