PANpot doesnt work on my VS-880EX

Hello,
i just bought this unit, seller told me its 100% OK but it is not. PAN pot on first chanel doesnt work, its quite loose when you turn the knob too. Tried turn right/left...does nothing.
So im looking to replace the whole pot. Does anyone know what type is it or where i can buy one?
Thank you for any input fellas and all the best in 2021!
Martin

Oh that was quick, thank you very much. \:\)
I just checked specs on this pot and are you sure this is the one, panoramatic pot?
Thank you very much again.

That Mouser part should work.

Those pots aren't hard to swap.

I had to remove the 'eu' from above link for it to work.

Run the test procedure and ensure that all faders are good. If any are bad, swap them while the machine is apart for the pot swap. Your "future self" will be happy with your "past self".

Holding down [EDIT] and [STATUS] button on the CH5, turn on power.
The unit is now in the test mode.

There's a menu for the various checks.

To exit test mode, turn power off.

Thank you, will try it as well. The only problem is that i have to pay cca $25 shiping fot pot which cost $1...and that sucks. Cant find it anywhere else.

As my best half would say:

"It's cheaper than replacing the entire machine."

She's SO right.
