If the RPG works better in one direction it may need a small adjustment of the very small set screws on the side of the RPG near the lamp wires. This can serve to balance or direct the light flow.

The RPG (rotating pulse generator, i.e. the encoder) of one of my 3586A's doesn't work well. Clockwise it works well, counterclockwise it is erratic. May it be an issue in the encoder itself? I don't know how these encoders are made (are they optical?). May they fail this way? Before removing the front panel for troubleshooting, I wanted to ask the group for any advices. I could find one on ebay right now, but it would cost 50 USD + shipping.
Thanks,
