Just bought this board from its first owner and came with a Korg DSH pedal, double braced X Stand, leads and a gig bag for £200. Seemed a very good deal as its cosmetically perfect, bar one dial missing, and all the keys worked fine, nice bright screen etc.
A few hours later I have discovered the F2 switch and Select button for the realtime control section are not responsive and the INC button needs a good press so I will strip the boaed down tomorrow and clean the contacts.
I am planning on using isoprophyl 99% cleaning alcohol, is this the right stuff or will it damage the board in any way?
Also, anyone know where I can buy just one dial/knob in the UK?

Thanks in advance.

P.s I have had much newer gear but always wanted to try one of these.

Servisol-10 switch cleaner and lubricant, or Deoxit might be better. Isopropyl alcohol probably won't do any damage, though, just that a longer lasting repair will probably be obtained using the lubricating switch cleaner.

Thanks, got all the main screws out but struggling to separate the base.
i got some contact cleaner.
This is running original OS, any idea where I can download the latest OS (1.5.1 I think)?
Nothing on UK site and US have 1.4.0.

All good as new and switches work fine, just needs an OS uodate and a replacement knob.

OS upgraded, I presume 1.04 is the latest. I found a knob shipped from the US for £11 total but is there anywhere in the UK sells them?
Alternatively has anyone found a similar style 'off the shelf'?

Could this be an alternative source for the knob?

Anyone know what other boards use the same knob? There are knobs for the triton extreme and D1600 on ebay that look very similar. They certainly have the D connection and white strip.

The Korg Radias uses the same knobs, I think.

Definitely looks the same. Here is the listing for the D1600 knob, looks identical but I only need one somit needs to be the same as the rest. This one is less than £10 delivered.
