Someone had a bunch of rotary encoders around here a while back. Search on that phrase and take a look. If I remember correctly, it is a standard part but there were a batch of them left over that have been used for repairing this problem. Note: this fix requires some soldering skill.

It may not be the rotary encoder, but one of the original knobs from a MK 2, I had mine exchanged precisely because it did this, but I had largely fixed the problem by wrapping a small piece of paper round the shaft.
