Howdy!
Alrighty, So to begin heres a little summary of recent events:
I noticed that one of my 1200 MKii's had two "zero points" (the large dots standing still at both the centre 'click' and once again around +1). Upon further investigation, I also noticed that the other dots were well off from the rough estimations given on the legend beside the on/off knob.
So, I took it upon myself to recalibrate both the pitches on my pair of technics so they are (roughly) in sync. However, the initial two Zero points still exist on the one unlucky turntable.
Now, upon reading various 'how-to guides' Ive noticed that some suggest the use of a multimeter in accordance with adjusting the potentiometer located on the bottom of the table, (note: NOT the same 'PITCH' screw adjustment used to recalibrate the pitch).
I was wondering, had anyone attempted todo this? I read that the desired Ohm reading is 2.7kOhm, but im still not sure where to hook everything up.
So yeah, these two projects, recalibrating both pitches so that they were relativly close (which seems to have helped with the mixing) and the removing the second zero point, have been my first attempts at handyman work on this suckers. Overall im pretty pleased with it, but as stated, id like to remove this annoying extra zero point, which is essently rendering my +1% point useless.
My quick fix as of now has been to basically pitch my mixes up around +3-4% so that Im not ever really using the slider around the +1% area. ( I hear most people do this anyways to avoid the apparently 'pull' twowards 0 often associated with quartz-lock)
In short, Im just looking to see if anoyone hase experience with using the multimeter to remove the two zero points, and if anyone has an easier method to remedy the problem stated.
Thanks in advance
(Ive only been djing since the summer, but this board has been a great help with keeping up to date on tunes and my mixing!)
