1210's servicing

[DannyBlack]

My fella replaced one of my pitchs himself and also serviced them both a couple of years ago , he bought a Manuel on ebay and followed instructions although im sure you could download one from the web. I wouldnt mind having the click on my pitchs removed actually, it does my nut in when it goes all wobbly round the zero. Grr!

There is a tiny little ball bearing in the pitch control housing. Get rid of this and no more clicky.

Yeah mine are the same. Looks too hardcore an operation to try myself though.

Lol yeah, im too scared to do it myself too incase i damage my decks

I have tried this before and would NOT advise anyone to do it. I think it might be a better idea to get ''ball-less' ones as for the mk3d (?) which don't have the click to start with. You have to register at the first site but it looks flash,

Just put a new pitch slider on my older 1200 mkII figuiring that would cure the worryingly large dead space in the quartz lock. Had it soldered by an electronics trade mate, the operation went like a breeze. Tried the new slider and its nice and solid again but the dead space is still the bloody same!? wtf?


Anyone any idea why this could be? My other "newer" 1200 has very little dead space. That was the result I was aiming for (obviously). Gonna have a look at this one inside to see if theres anything different about it (doubt it but ???).


Any advice welcome!

What do you mean by dead space?

What do you mean by dead space?

Space on the slider between the click and where any actual pitch adjustment takes place

eg it's about 0.4 +/- before the pitch changes slightly from zero on mine




Might have to try the quartz removal mod after all :(

Been reading up on it via google and gonna have a play with it over the weekend.

I'll post my results. Thanks for replying, fella.

I reckon getting the faders without the balls (from the 3d version) should be a better idea. And yes - i have tried the balls removal
