[Numark PT-01 modding thread]

Is the Jesse Dean tonearm BASE in the PT01 scratch(fresh out of the box) supposed to be wobbly to the sides and up/down?

 

When scratching with the PT on my legs the tonearm jumps a lot.

 

I installed it as shown in the video on the JD Youtube channel, but added another flat ring on the bottom of the base below the deck, else i could lift the base a little which i thought wasn't right.

 

Mine don't feel wobbly. Make sure you have the stock washer on the topside if so.

Edit: I mounted my m447s in the middle holes, and almost never skips even when jarred.

Thanks Rasteri. I meant the cover plate though, not the PCB.

Yeah I know - I meant that you can make a cover plate from PCB material. There's a good overview here :

 

 

 

Nice! Wouldn't have thought about that.

Any chance someone has the 3d print file for the tonearm side plate (where the audio outs are)? I've whipped up some serato passthrough switches, and need a place to mount the audio jacks/switch.

3D printing isn't a great way to make a plate TBH, personally I'd make it out of PCB material - it's strong, cheap and comes with free screenprinting. There are places on the net (JLCPCB.com for example) that'll do you one for $2 + shipping.

Like this but for the flip side:

As for the pcb, I'll definitely go that route if I make more than a few of these. Right now it's just a wire harness. I'm not looking to sell them, but I'd be happy to share the specs if anyone wants to use the idea.

Also, I guess I'm done lurking. I've been reading this thread for awhile, so helpful in getting my pt01s modded to death.
