Can you replace the Sl1210 Mk2 pitch fader for a Mk3 one.
The reason I am asking is because mine could do with replacing anyway and the Mk3s don't have a centre de-tent
Thank you in advance

Yep works perfectly.
I was hoping so!
What do I do with the pitch reset button? Just remove it?
I was going to replace the complete pitch fader (including pcb board)
Ahh I've never done that sorry mate. Slider replacement is fine though
Cheers for the reply
Will have a look at just getting the slider, its cheaper anyway!
Mk3's will be relatively hard to find, as far as I know, because of limited availability of the stock. M3D's will be easier to find but their circuit-board comes with a pitch-reset button that you will struggle to fit into the body of the standard 1200/1210MK1/MK2. Your best bet if you want to replace the pitch is to either simply replace the slider-only or the whole circuit-board (which doesn't vary from deck to deck, as far as I know, except in minor specs - and in the case of the M5G digital pitch of course), and then remove the ballbearing that actually causes the centre detent. This is a very small fix and can be done in about 5 minutes, whilst you have the TT open.Quote:

No difference in performance at all (except the M3D's calibrate slightly differently).
You can buy plenty of mk3/5 pitch sliders
I will take them apart in the week and maybe just remove the ball bearing.
I wasn't aware you could just remove that, thought you had to upgrade the slider.
Many thanks again
I was referring to the whole pitch assembly, including the PCB. As far as I know, the pitch-sliders are basically the same on all (analogue) versions of the TT's.Quote:
