No, the washer is something I added, because my encoder developed a lot of
end play and I had to pull on the knob when I turned it to make it work.
Outside re-seating the connectors, I don't have anything else you can try
except an encoder.

It has no play at all and it makes no difference if I push the knob in or
pull it out. I have not tried anything yet and I wonder where the nylon
washer you mentioned is? Anything is worth a try, but if I have to change
encoder I will just do it.

How much end play do you see in the encoder? If you push it all the wa
in
and turn it, does it work properly? What about pulling it out to the
outer
end of the end play? Does it work ok?
Not wanting to buy an encoder right away, I drilled an undersize hole in
a
nylon washer and pushed it onto the shaft all way against the bushing,
while
pulling out on the encoder shaft. This took out the end play and it
works
OK now.

My Multi dial has beome intermittent. It starts to work and goes back
to
the lowest level in all funtion modes. Has anyone had this problem and
what if any was the fix? Will something like a tuner cleaner help? Is
changing the encoder the only way out?
