Reading this whole thread again, I think Korg is probably aware of the problem. At least one user did receive new replacement caps, without any discussions. There are several users experiencing "sticky" fader and knob caps. Some of them, as we can learn from other threads, did purchase their OASYS very early after its release, obviously from an early production cycle.Kontrol49 wrote:...I wasn't aware of this problem with the Slider caps,(Mine seem to be fine)is this a known problem that Korg were aware of,if so which serial numbers (maybe) are affected!and at which serial number was it rectified?
There must be a reason, why the Swiss Korg distributor asked me to indicate the serial number and to send them the faulty caps, in order to profit from a free replacement, resp. from a fairness warranty.
The informations available seem to indicate, that there was a material problem with the fader and knob caps from an early production cycle and that Korg did correct the fault. This behaviour would be consistent with Korg's behaviour correcting the production faults from their first production cycle of the Kronos, like the faulty data wheel, etc., etc.,
My OASYS-88 with the faulty fader and knob caps has a serial number around 500 and my other OASYS-88 without any issues, has a serial number much higher than 2000...
