Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3 replacement potmeter, and jog wheel upper part

Tango69

Hello,

Can anyone help me to find replacement potmeter (effect section), and jog wheel? (komplete, or only the upper part)

Unfortunately the kontroller has fallen and damaged. (It has only 10 party on it😥) I bough it at 2025 February, but shure i'we lost the warranty because the physical damage. It still works fine, if i rotate the broken pot with with fingertips, and the jogwheel is also functional, but it looks ugly…. Unfortunately i have booking for almost every weekend in the future so i am not able to send it back to NI. Is here anybody who knows the pot. type? And maybe a special paint, or paint pen into the jogwheel, to hidden the scratch? I don't want to believe there's no other way then return it, and/or buy a new gear. Unfortunately my previous S4 mk2 has sold now so its not an option to use that until the mk3 arrives.

Please help me. I trust in this community, i am a tractor user for many many years now, and i belive that this community what is raise the NI higher than other brands. 🤜

Thank you for the link, now the potmeter is solved.

The only thing whats left is the jogwheel. I hope somebody has a defective unit in the EU for donor purposes. Or anybody knows the type of the paint what is used the factory? Or if i buy a skin (what contains a jogwheel sticker also for examle doto design) will the jogwheel detect the touch in jog mode? Is anybody here who is using doto design skin? If yes the jog wheel works properly after the install?

A vinyl skin will isolate the platter and block the touch function. You can still apply a skin on top, if you leave out a section of the rim or cut the circle into a pattern where you a guaranteed your finger will always hit a clear spot. I haven't gotten around to cutting out my own circles; i'm waiting for a lull when i am calm and concentrated enough to do the fiddly work.

Don't know the specs of that part, but by using Google I found two sellers for that part. As I am not sure about posting links to external shops I won't link them here.
