    Default Alpha fader for VCM 600

    Here goes guys,
    I have opened the guts of my VCM 600 as I have a volume fader that is misbehaving since I spilt some beer on my mixer! I have narrowed the volume fader manufacturer to be Alpha and the dimensions of the fader are as listed on this spec sheet
    How would I identify what rating the fader would be so I can buy a replacement?
    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but all I can find is details of modding vci 100's.....
    Whilst I have the guts out of it would anyone like me to up some info on anything inside my box? (I mean the mixer btw)!

    Have you tried mailing Vestax? Maybe if you asked them they could supply you with a part number...

    Getting in was a bore as there are so many knobs etc.....


    Once inside there were 4 boards. One was marked as VCM 600 CPU, this had the USB connector etc on it. There was a small board that had the crossfde and fader curve dials on it.
    The other 2 were for the 6 channel faders... (The 3rd was the one with the beer in it)


    The last being non faulty I left attached to the unit.

    I was unable to find a replacement so I removed the fader by desoldering. Opened it up and cleaned it with acetone and a lint free bud. Re soldered and tested and all was well...... I put it all back together and happy days it works perfectly. I also took advantage of the opportunity to clean the rest of it up.......

    Having opened it up I am now trying to look for some ultra bright LEDs to improve the lighting on the sides as there are 8 bright LEDs in situ but I think if I double this I might get a better effect.
