Numark PT-01 modding thread

Recommended Posts

what's everyone using for needle weight? i'm currently rocking a taped down dime, but still getting some skips every now and then. working on my soft hands.

 

another question, is what travel case is everyone using for their portable units? I'm sure i could find a pelican case and pull some foam out to fit everything. work through trial and error until i found the right case... just wondering what everyone else is using. looking for something to fit the pt01, fader crib, raiden and why not.. some 7s.

I'm pretty sure the metal briefcase toolbox is the case of choice for a few of the Holmes' PT-01/Raiden/Crib setups, but I've not seen them yet. That's what I'm ultimately planning on housing mine in, I reckon

If I get 10 people to order a PCB it'll bring down the price to around £30 each including refurbished PCV fader. If you don't want the fader, £20.

 

I might just order some kits at that price anyway and just assemble them as people need. The components are so fucking cheap in bulk it's ridiculous.

Yo Rasteri if its not to late could you put me down for 2 PCB and PCV faders?

Cool! Me, you and Paul can get our portable jam on. I've been well enjoying having mine.

 

No need to apologies Rasteri, you're sorting us all right out with this. I'm sure everyone can be patient.

Hey guys new to the forums I came here because of this thread :p

I got a PT-01 and a frisk fader fairly recently I'm interested in attempting some mods but I really don't know anything about this kinda stuff
half of what's been posted here looks like some kinda alien language to me haha

one thing I'm really interested in trying if I can figure out how is to add a start stop button
how would I go about doing something like that would it be fairly simple?

 

I do have a soldering iron the whole start stop with the tone arm really annoys me
I was thinking it would be cool to add maybe like one of those arcade game style buttons as a start stop button

There's a switch underneath the tonearm base that currently controls the stop/start, you could route the wires that currently go to that switch to your own switch.

 

The easiest way would be to add a latching push switch, i.e. one that pops in when you push it and pops out when you push it again.

 

If you wanna go technics-style, you're gonna have to build some kind of soft-start circuit using a flipflop and a relay (or MOSFET). Probably if you don't understand the rest of the stuff in this thread best to stick to the latching switch.

Thanks rasteri I see what you mean that helps I will try to get a latching switch

 

I figured of all mods this really should be the easiest thing so I thought I'd start with that
hopefully it will give me the confidence to research a bit more and try some other stuff

 

Just had a quick look on ebay there seems to be alot of these on there

would something like this work I assume I would need to get a 12v one the same as the PT-01
