Crackly Faders How do you stop a x-Fader from crackling? Its only 10 months old and crackles really badly, which for a vestax it shouldn't do (or should it).
You can buy fader spray from Dj stores, its only a few quid and it usually works. If not you may have to replace the faders
You need to get contact cleaner not WD40 which is a oil and will conduct a current. Dont buy it from HTFR but this is what you want http://www.htfr.com/more-info/?catno=MR47394 try maplin or Aken bros in town
Fuck. Dreched the bastard in WD40 yesterday. Oh well will washing up liquid get it off? Also does anyone do vca conversion kits?
i strip mine down and gently clean the tracks with a cotten bud and sum brasso metal polish the tracks are looking a little worn now tho mixer is 2 years old now and i still havnet replaced the cross fader lol might try sum of the spray from aitken bros, got sum industrial spray from work and it lasted all of three days before the crackles were back
Might try that, seeing as everything else has made the crackles come back in a matter of hours. the cheapest fader I've found so far is £50 ! Don't think I'll pay that, to have it go wrong in another couple of months.
