Options for servicing and aging A1r?

Post by starkaudio »

Hi gang,

I have an aging A1r that needs some service - some buttons....most noticeably the shift button...is getting intermittent failures.

I live in Boston, MA USA...where/who can engage for a tuneup/servicing? The Nord website isn't clear on this. :)

The Nord website lists all national distributors. Who will be your contact partner for any type of servicing. They should have addresses spread over the continent.

you can pull the cap off the switch without disassembling anything and take the metal contact out and put some contact cleaner (deoxit) on it - might be all it needs. I had an electro 6 effects button that was wonky and I had to bend the contact a little to get it to work.

As busterkeys suggested, the push buttons can be popped off and cleaned:
