Thanks Scott!

I was just so concerned when the manual told me to check my wiring. *Puh*
I would appreciate if you were to find a good replacement part! Although I'm happy as long as this isn't due to my error, and it will work. Upgrades can always be done at a later time.
But does that also explain the small ticking sound that can be heard when going CCW from mid position? It's more frequent the more I go CCW, until it goes silent, but it's timing is a bit random. I don't know how I would describe it, but it's almost like the sound disappears for a fraction of a second, and then continues. It's almost not noticable, so maybe it's nothing, just new parts needi g to settle or something? I just want to be sure. Maybe it's easier to hear it if I record it to the PC and upload it. The YouTube video from my phone picked up some background noise.
Sorry for my maybe unnecessary concerns, but I have no prior experience with building synths.
