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!

Yes! same issue as well and got replacement caps from the american distributor Glad to know it wasn't just my cat that decides to walk across it every now and then XD

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

Ouch! Now I see cracks in mine too ...

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.
