TONY....

Sometimes I get cute little pictures in my mind in response to questions......


Spray some pressurized air...(The kind that comes in a can)....all around it & work it as you spray????

The kind of pressurized air that comes from the human mouth usually will not work....at least not as well! :-))

Elizabeth ... I will try that ... anyone else???

WD40 Tony, WD40. Spray that in there. We use that in the shop around our electrical stuff. Kind of like an exlax for electrical moving parts.

Grandpa Doug ... I was thinking of that, but did not know if it might do harm to something else in there ...
Perhaps I will just wipe some on the wheel with a cloth and see if that helps ...
thnx,

Hi Tony , and Granpa .
I'm not saying Granpa is wrong regarding wd40 .
I know tony , you love your kn6000 , electrical parts and electronic components can be very different . Heed this warning !!! get expert advice !!!

Many years ago I ruined the switches on my Roland drum machine unit (I forget the model number but it was the "business "
I had problems with a few sticking push buttons and I sprayed a some electrical spray cleaner (similar to wd 40 ) and it ruined the switches .
I took the unit to Rolands UK H.Q service dept and the engineer,
said that the switch contacts were made of a composite membrane and the solvent ruined about 8 switches which all had to be replaced .
The engineer said "I wish people would not spray cleaning solvents on specialist equipment without first getting the advice of the manufacture's service dept .

I hope it all goes well for you .

Keep making great Music !!!

regards ......to you and your great City of New York .

What the heck, Tony, go ahead, it ain't my board. Maybe turn it upside down and take the screws out. You can see the dog-gone thing and just wipe out the cobwebs and all the cracker crumbs over the years. I won't tell you what I found in mine a couple of years ago. Ruthie said, I told you not to eat and drink when you play that darn thing, your too clumsy!
