Hi All,
I got fed up with the Jog wheel sticking, so today I took the plunge and fitted some PCB mount push buttons behind the front panel (see attached).
The wiring is the same as the push button mod in the files section. I simply drilled some small holes in the PCB front panel and attached the buttons to the rear.
There is just enough space and depth between the panels for the miniature switches to fit nicely in place. The top of the buttons are flush with the surface of the PCB, but it's easy to operate them with the edge of your thumb nail.
I insulated the back of the switches so that they can't short against the other PCB, and ran the thin connecting wires between the PCB panels through the newly vacated Jog wheel mounting holes.
I also cut down the slider of the rather delicate miniature on/off switch, so that it doesn't accidentally get caught on other objects or become switched on in transit.
Regards,
Martin
