Title: JB3 jog wheel cleaning
Post by: Patrick on March 17, 2005, 07:15:07 PM: Yes, I've read the FAQ, many times :)

But can you use that keyboard cleaning stuff that is in the compressed can for cleaning the wheel.

Also, is this a very common problem among JB3 owners?

Mine's due for a cleaning, it's skipping/jumping a bit - I suspect it's pretty common. Haven't tried compressed air on mine, but maybe I'll try that before I take it apart. Curious to hear what others say...

Compressed air didn't do a thing for me. Once I took it apart and basically doused the wheel in contact cleaner it started working like a brand new unit again! ;)

I was stupid enough to bring my lunch in the same bag as my Jb3 to work one day (authentic homemade chinese[real stinky]) the tupperware leaked alll over the jb3. I didnt know at all what happened untill 2 days later (WTF IS THAT SMELL!!!!!). I almost cried when I pulled it out, it was dripping, everything inside was coated in soy/ginger/garlic who knows what sauce.

CONTACT CLEANER TO THE RESCUE!!!!!

it still has a bit of an old food smell but it works like a charm.

well, if youre happy w/ your pre/ad, its silly IMO to buy it JUST for a 24-bit recorder :P

the marantz can easily get me most local shows, and for festies, i will roll w/ 16-bit outta the jb3 :)
