Alright peeps, well figured this was going to happen sooner or later since it always felt loose. During my Faderwave set last night, went for the power down move, then felt that the knob went really loose. Got some pics below, let me know what you guys think.

As you can see, or maybe not see, the shaft fell all the way down. I have no problem with taking my deck apart, just wanted to know what options I have going into this.
There's 2 possible options I can see:
1) Use glue to reattach the shaft
2) Order a new knob/shaft combo online and do it that way

Any and all help is appreciated well in advance. I know there's some guys on here that know their way around these decks better than most.

You can glue that knob back to the shaft. But you will have to take the decks apart until you access the switch/start/stop/33/45 assembly.

Update on the fix. Took me 10 min, screwed off the bottom, slid the SHAFT out, pulled the white plastic piece off underneath, attached the cap, put it back in, PRESTO!! No glue needed either, it was made to be a press fit.

Good to hear you got it fixed no problem mate, but as you said made to push fit but i would have put a little bit of glue to keep it stuck.. But that's just me.

I probably should have, but hey, when I feel it starting to get loose to the point where I can turn it all the way around, I'll pop it out and put some glue on that...SHAFT!

Glad you were able to fix that SHAFT and slid it back in the HOLE.

Hahaha! :lol:

Like Liam said, glue it next time to make sure it doesn't come off again. :tup:
