Pitch Bend Mechanism needed urgently

I don't think they're available anywhere. Roland expects you to ship it to them or take it to an authorized service center. I have a malfunctioning bender on my FA-07.

For anyone that might be interested...

My pitch bender doesn't work properly. It won't bend down all the way. The bender physically moves fine but sound wise it only bends the sound down about half of what the specified value is. So if it's set to bend down a whole step, it only bends down about a half step. I took apart my FA-07 to investigate.

Nothing looks damaged or out of place. I disassembled the bender unit to get to the potentiometer, which I assumed was the culprit. The only identifying marks on it are not helpful in searching for a replacement. I found a website that sells replacement parts for Rolands but nothing for the FA. There are a lot of pitch bend pots available for other models but I could not confirm if any of them would be compatible. I emailed the company and they weren't helpful either.

In the end I just sprayed Deoxit into the pot and worked it back and forth real good. That ended up fixing my issue although I'm not sure how long it will last. This issue started right after my warranty ran out (of course).
