On my Roland E16 the slide volume control is out of order. (has unfortunately been lubricated with WD 40 penetrating oil instead of a proper one ! Is it easy to replace with not too much soldering work? and can it easily be accessed ? or totally embedded in the printed circuit? Or is replacement by a (turning)volume knob like on my VK-8 organ better (to ensure reliability?) Thks in advance for your reply Gerard Grob

Before replacing TRY flushing it with CRC226 available at Home Depot in the electrical department. Sometimes you can restore controls damaged by WD40 or cleaners like Deoxit or Blue Shower.
Turn it upside down and spray with the tube near the center and at the ends to flush the WD40 out. Working the control back and forth. Finally, a squirt of CRC226 with the keyboard right side up and work the control. You have a better than 50% chance of fixing it this way.
Make sure you use CRC226 as there are OTHER CRC products at HD. Blue can about $2.70.
