Hello everyone,
i know that there are many threads out about knob issues on R3/Radias instruments. So sorry to bother you again ;)

Because i don't have any bill of my second hand Radias, i want to repair it myself. EG1 int and CutOff2 is jittering and it's not possible to reach all values.
I opened up my Radias an measured out that the potentiometers are defect. (from behind the front panel)

Has anyone technical description of these pots? are they all the same resitance ? I don't want to disassembe it completely before i got spares. (too much parts to loose :) )

Thanks for any help and information
best regards
Max

Well because it is just two pots you're having issues with, have you tried a can of DeOxit? You may just have a couple of dirty pots on your board....

I believe there's a test mode when you can test all your pots and LED's and stuff. I'd be curious how they tested out...

Thanks for you answers.
As i'm a solder freak i tested contact spray first.

I didn't find any test mode in the radias. At least i'm sure the pots are oxidized too much. But if anyone cann tell me where's the testmode, i would be thankfull.

Perhaps someone gives me the right part numbers for the pots ?

thanks Max
