PRSGuy Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 So brandy new JTV-69 came in...plays great, setup great...sounds great...BUT within literally 3 minutes the top of the model selector knob came off? What the heck? It doesn't look like glue is on it, how the heck is it supposed to be attached???? The chrome hat part. I should add I am very gentle with my stuff so this makes me a bit nervous as I do gig 3 weekends per month so the plan is for this thing to get some use...I cannot be dealing with weirdo stuff happening while gigging. With that said, this has been the only issue so far. How do I reattach it??????? Oh and will this void my warranty? I really don't want to send it back for what should be a simple fix. thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevekc Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Mine did that too USA Hardware stores sell a quality clear RTV silicone adhesive I used a drop of this on my JTV-69 model knob to reglue the chrome cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Common problem - just glue it on. Superglue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevekc Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Common problem - just glue it on. Superglue. i suggest not use superglue, (or any type of cyanoacrylic glue) as most formulations are not impact resistant, and do not hold up well to being smacked ( which exactly the type of action the Model knob is subject to during gigs) . and its not the best adhesive for bonding chrome metal to plastic (that's why it fell off before) Too easy for superglue to run down into the mechanical switch below and gunk up the up / down model knob switching action Use a small drop of quality clear RTV silicone adhesive instead - (Lowes, Home Depot) or Auto parts store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clay-man Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Agreed. This should of been a QC thing that was addressed a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
