1210's servicing

[Izz]

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 :(
