Was looking over my WC stuff that arrived today and noticed that the dial on the D5 vario seems off. It is quite loose between 1-3, has quite a stiff catch at 3 and also spins 360 degrees. Is this normal or should I try to get it replaced before I build the loop?

Mine is very stiff all the way through 1 to 5 - so if you have any concerns, RMA it now...

Dont understimate my skillsz, you might look foolish.

Popped the back off before I sent it back. Turns out the X on the bottom of the red dial that connects to the potentiometer had broken off. Got the replacement today which seems to be in better condition (not built the loop yet). Thanks for the help guys!
