comopletely with the components inside. I've air dusted mine also, it might work better for a little bit but then it's the same thing again. Jiggle it around, bang it on the floor might help a little bit, but then it eventually sticks or whatever again. I have to move my foot on the pedal itself to push the springs to make contact correctly so the player stops sticking or connects or whatever it's doing.

I remember talking to someone years ago about these pedals and they are not meant to be opened up, the tech person almost went into a panic about dont open those up and tinker with them. I dont know why.

I'm considering a new pedal as well as going to the gearplayer program. Express Scribe ripping people off for new licenses before the old one expires is not fair at all. And I need a new pedal anyway, I cant remember or find how long ago I bought this one and I too am sick of tinkering with it and holding up my production.
