A few weeks ago I bought an ‘open box’ digitone that I was told never left the warehouse and was demo’d once. The unit arrived looking new with screen protector still on but after a few weeks the master volume knob started crackling on the right channel of the headphone out. Elektron support quoted me $4 + $20 shipping for a replacement pot or $100 to send it in for repair.
I’m probably going to try repairing it myself but I’m wondering if anybody has tried replacing it with another, possibly higher quality part not from elektron?
That seems like an option worth considering but it sounds like more of a sidegrade. What I’m wondering is if there’s a compatible part out there that I wouldn’t have to worry about replacing again. The unit I have is surprisingly old (made in sweden in 2018) so I’m speculating there could be corrosion due to age.
