Im still waiting... I think the girl in the mail room is starting to hate me :)

[reincarnate]

Since everyone seemed to have received theirs, I was getting worried, especially since my local sorting office seem to use the power of their union to allow them to pilfer goods in transit......

..but they arrived today!  They feel great, especially with the perfect fit of the "Waldorf" knobs.  The dentent is not as chunky as on my Yamaha and Roland kit, and for me that's a good thing.

So, thanks for all your work on this Frank.  I'm very happy.

I haven't gotten mine yet :(. Guess the post service in Vermont is enjoying all the snow we're getting.

[mc4]

Sounds good so far - I think the remaining packets will arrive soon :)

[kokiPsiho]

Nothing yet, snif snif  :-\

[lief138]

You and me both bro! The girl at the mail room has gone past hate and has moved on to hate filled rage and spitting venom.

Nothing yet, snif snif  :-\

It's been to long now, can you trace back the package asap. Try to know where it is right now.

It is not in Canada, i talk with PostCanada, there is nothing for me coming from europe.

Thanks!

[mc4]

I feel with you!  :(

Looking for information about delivery time, I found this:

http://www.dhl.de/dhl?tab=1&skin=hi&check=yes&lang=de_DE&xmlFile=3001738

(sorry this is german)

It says that a 'Paeckchen' , german for small packet, will take >30 days to canada. I did sent the packets on 1.2.2008. My decision was for 'Paeckchen', because the faster 'Paket' (10 days) costs about 20 Euros ( USD 30) more.

[dstamand]

Ok, no problem my friend. I was on the impression that regular postal service was use. That is why i've checked with post canada. You do not have any tracking number from DHL ?

[mc4]

Unfortunatly the 'Paeckchen' has no tracking number.

once the detent is removed, how is the slack on these encoders? i.e. that effect you get when you keep turning one way, then when you start turning the other way there is a loose section before it engages again.

I've found this happens a little when you remove the detent on the bourns encoders from SmashTV, it sometimes makes it quite tricky to select a precise value.. which isn't always a big deal.. sometimes it is.. like on note pitch etc :)

they are perfect. there is no reason to remove completely the iron round of the mechanism. just beat it and make flat.

here some pics, not very good but this is the way.

[stryd_one]

Thanks Ganchan. Maybe you could add your pics to the wiki page with similar pics? More doco never hurts :) In fact, maybe this subject (removing detents) could do with it's own page? I'll leave it up to you.

[Monobass]

Would anyone like to sell me 50 of these encoders?
