Layer sliders—cracked plastic?

Hi gang! Same issue here. Had a crack down the middle on one. Got it replaced (via Sweetwater) and now another is showing a hairline crack in the middle. Going to see about getting a few spares this next time around. For the record, this was one of the early Wave 2s - one with board print version 1.0.

Nord's UK Distributor (Sound Technology) sent replacement fader caps for mine. Arrived the day after I asked - amazing service!

Hello,
Same problem here too (1.1 version). I replaced the 4 caps with Roland MC-505 caps

The gal I married in 1988 came with a 1970s Pioneer receiver. I use it as my amp and the caps are indestructible and fit my wave2 sliders. Unfortunately they don't match very well. I'm going to use epoxy as suggested by DJKeys until Nord is willing to come up with some good replacements. Let's keep this thread going. I don't really even know how to get parts from Nord when they are available.

I emailed Sweetwater from whom I purchased the NS3 and they sent me replacements today-
