Knobs keep falling off

Postby afroskully » 25 Aug 2017, 14:23

Hey all. I have a NE5D and this is the second time in a month one of the knobs has gone missing, and luckily each time i've found it either on the floor next to the board or still in the soft Nord case. Is this happening to anyone else? Any ideas (gentle adhesive?) to keep these from continually falling off?

I'VE LOST one & two others have fallen off that I located. It sucks big time especially since a replacement is about $6 - ya got to be kidding! I did notice they are MUCH LOOSER than on the NE3 or 4-series. Weird!
One has to wonder WHY. And also think, if this is the new normal - give us some free extra knobs! Right?>

I did come up with a solution to the missing knob - OLD computer speakers that I was no longer using. Took off the knob and used it - fit perfectly - just a bit too tall/high - but fits in my case!

Constantly. Very maddening. So far, I haven't lost any, but it's just a matter of time.

Same thing here. I found them each time, but one, not until after my dog maimed it :-) $6 bucks for the knob and $5 shipping and handling. This is the solution that Pablo gave me. No glue ... take a tiny piece of plastic wrap, place it on top of the potentiometer shaft ... replace know on top. Thank Pablo for that one :-)

Yes. I'm missing 3 of them now.. if you're moving this thing E5HP) around they will fall off, in the dark and you will not find them. Irritating.

Nord's suggested solution is to wrap the stem with plastic wrap and replace the knob, if you haven't lost it.
