i recently picked up a Fantom XA with a scratchy master volume pot.
at least one post on this forum mentions a similar problem and the possibility of a bad motherboard.
anybody have the models and/or serial number affected ?
i will probably replace the pot anyway because it is loose, but would like to know if there is the bigger problem.
i know the control pot and input jack (which is also loose) are available from Roland..but does anybody
have a parts number or cross-reference number to get from a place like DigiKey ?
broke musician just trying to save some money here people!
thanks.
Fantom bad motherboard?
Re: Fantom bad motherboard?
I think the bad motherboards were on the Fantom X early boards.
Have you tried spraying compressed air and if that doesn't work try some electrical contact spray. Dust can cause that too.

I think you are mixing up information from different and unrelated posts. A noisy pot is a noisy post and if cleaning doesn't help it's probably best to replace it. I would contact Roland to obtain the original part, I believe their prices for replacement parts are not entirely unreasonable in most countries.
