The ‘OUTPUT LEVEL’ control on my Field feels very loose. I haven’t tried pulling the knob off or opening the Field to look at how it’s mounted. The bottom of the knob is almost flush with the surface of the panel so you can’t see anything beneath. As opposed to the 1-8 knobs which are separated and you can see the mounting nut.
Any advice-instructions? Is this a known problem or just the way it is or broken?
Mine is the same. I’m not concerned
Thanks for the info Manysounds, I appreciate it.
I am still hoping to get an answer from Electro-smith. I am concerned, it feels like the Output Level control is hanging on by a thread. Let me know if I should ask through a different method.
The pot used for the level control is a dual gang pot, which has a plastic shaft and is not panel mounted.
So it does feel much “looser” than the other pots on the Field which are all metal shaft, and panel mounted.
That is probably what you’re experiencing.
OK, thanks.
And here are some additional words to make the forum software happy and get past a “Post must be at least 20 chars” message!
For anyone else similarly curious about this, my Field’s output knob has quite a lot of slack as well.
Apart from that, the knob also causes audible scratching through the output. Any advice for how this could be replaced with something more robust? I am no DIY expert, but this could be a great opportunity to learn 
Apologies for reviving this old thread, i understand that the pot being loose is more of a me-issue!
I have the same issue. The pot is quite flimsy, crackly and doesn’t fully close on my unit.
This should be the part that is used: https://www.digikey.nl/nl/products/detail/bourns-inc/PTV112-4420A-A503/3780863
Maybe we can find a more sturdy variant that fits the same footprint.
Hey, thanks for identifying the part, much appreciated!
Was able to find some substitutes on Ali Express… not sure if they’ll be any better than Bourns/OEM, but I’ll give them a try and report my findings here
