KDP Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Have a Creative Clay Boss model 1w907. We I turn it on, the wheel starts spinning very slow and will not stop or go faster. Hardware in the foot pedal is good with the gears, etc. Was working fine, but not used for many months. Stored inside. Is it possible the potentiometer is bad or is it something else? Motor seems to be fine. Please advise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Sounds like it could be the potentiometer, but also open up the control box and see if anything has come loose. Are there any adjustments that can be made in the controller or the pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDP Posted July 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Thank you. I opened the control box and everything is connected and tight. None of the electronics seems normal and nothing looks burnt. There is nothing in the pedal to make any adjustments. Do you know where I can purchase a replacement potentiometer that has the same length the arm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know where I can purchase a replacement potentiometer that has the same length the arm? Try Speedball, as they now make the Clay Boss and Artista wheels. They don't support the old Creative Industries wheels, but they should be able to tell you if their current pedal is the same or not, and sell you the part if it is. The other option is to find that potentiometer online. It's not made specifically for wheels, so if there's a part number on it you may be able to find it with a Google search.

Fred Sweet Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 KDP- Have you consulted your owner’s manual? Seems that there is some information regarding the potentiometer part number and means of adjusting the speed of your wheel. the link to the owner’s manual is: https://www.speedballart.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Boss-Manual-Final-Update-November-2017.pdf Regards, Fred Hulk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulk Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Nice find Fred! Search string "5k potentiometer slide" might be a start, if that's the problem, then find a match - if the Boss people aren't able to help (my guess would be they can help you). The adjustments on that control board look typical (min, max, accel, ir, cl) - similar to those on my Minarik board (Skutt uses Minarik control boards); shout if you're looking for info on the import of each adjustment.
