[TenTec] Jupiter Multi encoder

[Arthur Lewis]

Phil

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.
