Troy, take the drive knob off and make sure the shaft to the optical
encoder is not solid, this is common with steel shaft running in a
brass bush. some wd40 on the shaft left to soak in and then work the
shaft gently back and forwards till it frees up. I'd put money on it
that this is your problem
Good Luck
