My knobs aren't straight
Posted on: 17.06.2010 by Eden Sechelski
Just got my VCI-100SE the other day. Many of the knobs are not installed straight. Most noticeable are the EQ knobs, which point a little to the left when I have them set at zero (they should be pointing straight up when they are at zero, of course). Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

Not sure why this would be but try pulling up a little on the knob and then pushing it firmly down. Are they the original black ones or did you have coloured knobs installed?

Either way, the knobs should pull off with a firm smooth pull (not a jerky tug) so you could try putting them back on yourself.

Let us know if this helps.

17.06.2010		If I pull a knob off and put it back on, or switch it with a different knob, it doesn't change anything. For example, my high EQ is pointing slightly left. If I pull that knob off and swap it with another one, the high EQ is still pointing slightly to the left. This tells me that it isn't the plastic knob cover at fault. It must be that the control was mounted into the board slightly off-center. Anyone know how to get in there and straighten it?

@Patch: No, you can't rotate them like that. That's what I was hoping I could do after pulling the knob off, but no such luck. The knob goes on one way, you can't change it's orientation.
