[QUOTE="djperkins, post: 849408, member: 17130"] :fekked::fekked::fekked::fekked: Right, both my decks are in need of attention, so as me mixer is away being fixed I thought I'd get on with it. 1st job is replacing both the sound leads, only one has a prob (volume is low on left side) but as I have 2 leads (followed Franks advice and bought a good quality phono lead and cut it in half) I may as well do both...I mean, how hard can it be? Brewed up a pot of coffee, sat down and looked up viperfrank's guide on YouTube, there was also a guide by a Canadian fella which included modifying the earth lead so it was soldered inside the deck and not in need of attaching to a mixer, this sounded quite trick so I watched it and decided I would do this also. Brewed another pot of coffee, plugged my soldering iron in and got to work. Even though old nob tickler is a bit awkward with his presentation, you gotta give it to him...everything you need to know unfolds right before your eyes and it wasn't long before I was ready to solder, all the screws are the same diameter but some have washers included in their design, it was a pipe of peace to strip down and even though my decks are 10 years + they fell apart..lol..came apart easy to reveal the gubbins. The existing lead came off very easily, much quicker than I expected (haven't soldered for about ???? years, had to change the plug from round pin to square!) and I could see it being easy to damage the PCB with excessive heat. Everything old helmet boy says is spot on, follow his guide and you really can't go wrong...2nd time around this is a 10 minute job, MAX. I decided against the earth lead modification...only because It seemed unnecessary and it's easy to go back to...do newer decks still have the earth worm? 2nd job is replacing the pitch sliders...got 2 options here...1-buy the unit complete for £50 from the Big Girls DJ Store and simply plug n play or 2-be a man and buy the slider for £15 and get jiggy with me soldering iron...the only thing that I'm unsure about it how to release the old one from the board, it is solid and has multiple joints to unsolder all at once, but I shall find out how to do it today cos I would obv rather pay £30 than a Oner. Both decks are working as sweet as the proverbials, checked 'em out with my USB souncard and they're spot on :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
