[TenTec] Jupiter Multi encoder

[Phil Chambley Sr.]

Art....
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.
