Teenage Engineering OP-Z Volume Potentiometer Replacement

Introdução

Use this guide to replace the volume potentiometer of your OP-Z.
In case the defect was caused by a drop then the volume knob was probably damaged too. This guide will also show how to replace the knob which can be purchased separately.

    • Unlock the four rubber feet by turning them 90° counterclockwise using your thumb or finger tip.

    • There is a tiny mark on every foot facing the bottom edge of the OP-Z. After turning them they should face towards the short edge where the on/off switch is.
