Title: Loose knob
Post by: Jure Lopatic (jure_the_second) on October 10, 2002, 05:25:39 AM

Hi.
 
This thing buggs me for some time: I bought an Orion 5 '98 two years ago, and I have a problem with the treble pot, which is a bit loose (it feels like the hole in the wood is too large). Is this a do-it-yourself repair (like tightening the right screw), or should I leave it alone?
 
By the way: the bass RULS!

Hi Jure,
 
how are things in Slovenia?
Welcome in the club.
I think I got the same problem with a knob on my SII.
The first thing I did was uncab the knob. I don't know what kind of knobs you have on the Orion but sometimes there's just a small screw on the side, sometimes you have to click the small plate off the top of the knob, there you'll find a small screw that holds the knob. Unscrew it and you can take of the knob. Then you can reach the ring that holds the pot-meter at the top. I just thightened it and replaced the black knob back. Be careful not to damage the wood.
Bye.
 
Paul

Paul's right - plus, make sure you don't use a metric nut driver to tighten the nut holding the bushing.
