Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai help

[DrKoester]

Greetings, I wonder if someone could direct me here.  The pedal was working fine for about a year until 2 nights ago.  Here are the symptoms:

- bypass is fine
- 'Hazarai' knob still moves the LEDs as normal
- presets seem to all be there
- tap tempo LED is responsive
- when engaged, I get what I'd describe as radio static
- none of the knobs affect the characteristics of the static
- same problem with both L/R ins and outs

I popped it open to investigate and I could get the footswitches disconnected and free but I cannot get the assembly out.  All knobs are off, the pot nuts and washers are off, the stereo ins and outs are unscrewed, but i just can't free it.  Not that I necessarily need to get it out, not quite sure what i should do.  I wonder if I should try replacing the switch....thoughts?

Thanks, Tom
