Repairing vestax 185 XL knobs
Posted on: 22.02.2012 by Bertram Goula
Hello,

Some eq knobs cause trash noise when I using it. I decided exchange some knobs which I dont use, for example knobs from mic or send/receive panel.
Maybe someone knows how to take off vestax 185xl mixer's knobs? Here is photos how it looks:

Thank you for your answers, I believe I am not so much advanced to make it. I believe better to sell it on low price...

You first need to open the sub assembly (the black plate). Screw it open to see the inside. Be sure to ground yourself before you do this!!!!!! Audio gear is very delicate and can be harmed by static electricity. If you don't know what you're doing, then please don't do it at all. Find someone with experience in these matters to do it for you!

Fair warning, but let's continue. I can't see by the look of it if the pots are through hole or surface mounted (I'm guessing through hole, but can't be for sure until I've seen it). In both cases you need some soldering skills to swap these puppies out, so if you haven't my advice (again) is to leave it to a professional...

Removing the knobs won't change anything.
You have to use a desoldering pump to remove the potentiometers which is a little risky.
