Hello,

I've played my EMX so much that the buttons are no longer firing. I suspect the contacts on the button gels are worn. Does anyone know of a retailer that might still have replacement parts? My next best option is to find a spare unit ($$$) or possibly try to fix the buttons I have. However, finding new replacements is my ideal solution.

Thanks

Shortly after I posted this question I found a post on another forum (http://electribe-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=249&f=6) with a decent solution. I picked up this stuff on amazon for $16. I'll report one how it works.

I used it to repair my sequential circuits six-trak buttons, it works, but I don't actually use the buttons too much, i mostly use MIDI editor, so I can't comment too much on longevity under heavy use. I did mine about a year ago, I just like things to be fully working you know?
