Stuck knob
When i was playing on my Yamaha CS15D turning around the Cut Of Freq-knob it just stuck all of a sudden. I can´t find what´s wrong with it, anyone who knows how to fix it? I can´t remove it a millimeter.

"Stuck knob"? Attention seeker...
My CS-15's VCA 1 level pot stuck - because the pot broke. It was always a bit uneven in movement, and I had to open the unit to fix a switch, but when I put everything back together again the pot sheared at the join of the body and the upper, encased, part (the cylinder around the screw thread and shaft). This prevented rotation except using real force. The upper part of the pot is crimped into place. I desoldered the pot, put another one in and all is well.
It may be that yours has the same problem, and the pot has sheared at the join, though I am assuming here that the CS-15D uses the same pots as the CS-15, and that may be wrong.
In a less long-winded way: replace the pot.
Phew.
