Those things are pricey though
I really like em too.
Cool man looking forward to seeing them! ![]()
If you can follow directions and use a screw driver, you can do the pitch adjustments yourself if you watch viperfrank’s youtube videos and download the technics owner/maintenance manuals. If you can solder, you can easily do the ground wire delete mod and replace the rca’s. There was nothing wrong with mine, but it was a pain grounding to my djm 707 and my dvs signal would occasionally drop because the rca’s don’t plug in very far on my audio 10’s inputs. I got a 9’ hosa rca for a few bucks and cut in half. It has thicker insulation than factory, but still fit in the clamps. They are also a foot longer than stock, so setup can be more versatile, especially in flight cases.
viperfrank’s vids are excellent. I watched a bunch of his vids while youtubing for information on turntables, and have since recalibrated my 0 - pitch, and recalibrated +8% -8%.
I watched the vids on how to do the ground yourself, but I don’t have access to a solder at present, but I will be doing it asap. I’m currently watching the vids on how to strip the turntable down for painting. I think there are also vids on how to change the lights on the turntables too. Very informative guy with great practical advice to mod your decks! Check them out if you can! ![]()
Here’s a few after pics. You will need to cut and solder the ground cable to the rca ground in the picture. It won’t hurt to use the other ground, but a mono headshell won’t work, should you decide to use one. The rca cables are now long enough that I can have them come out of the holes between the dust cover mounts and have plenty of slack to run them up my laptop stand and into my audio 10, or be able to set the audio 10 off to the side of my setup, or have both tables to one side of the mixer. Great mod.
LED conversion
upgraded rca’s BUT if they are good they can install female rca ports and earth plug so you can detach the cables
under platter/pitch led’s… that’s up to you but you could run into additional buzz in your audio b/c they have to pull more power
pitch control replacement???..not necessary unless your pitch control is broke. If it is a fully working pitch control just have them remove the click and calibrate
i’ve always removed the quartz but with the option to reverse it incase I need to sale it
