The info on the encoder replacement can be found on this page.

Less work is involved if you purchase an old control panel with an encoder.
The contacts in the original encoder get dirty over time but I have had good
luck with
tuner cleaner spray.

OR uses a potentiometer - continuous.

The 10k pot spins and when it reaches a certain point goes from 10k to 0.
There's only 2 wires on the OR pot - too.

Somewhere there was an article about how the ship is flaky at one point in
the rotation. The guy had built a new encoder board to deal with the
problem. I can't find the info now.

... I'm pretty sure that's an encoder wheel not a pot ....

Please forgive the newbie question:

How does a continuous Pot work?

I think this is what I'm looking for, although it seems kind of expensive.
But if it's better quality than the original, who cares.

Hi All,

My OR does the same thing too. It's a 10K pot for sure.

The 10k pot on my Omega Race is dirty or something. So the ship doesn't
turn smoothly at one point. What replacement part do you guys usually use?

I'm having a hard time finding a continuous turn pot that I can use as a
replacement.

thanks...

Matt
