My apologies for taking up bandwidth for this, but I'm trying to reach as many Waldorf product owners as possible.
The Alps 16mm encoders used in the Q and XT (and other Waldorf products?) are discontinued according to Alps. Alps has done some large runs of them for Elfa and others but it is officially a discontinued part with no direct replacement. The issue is that it is a 16mm rotary encoder and they have replaced it with a 12mm version with different spacing for the circuit board pins.
So... I have sourced this part from a manufacturer in China and I'm trying to get an idea of how many to buy. I'm guessing I would sell them for about $1.50 USD each, but can't guarantee that until I have more info.
Please e-mail me off list if you are interested and let me know what quantity you might need. I'm not going to hold anyone to this, I just want to get an idea of the possible demand.
