DJ Rock Well Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Actually, put me down for two please Andy. Both with faders - my PT-01 owning friend just got back to me. I'll vouch for him (and pay for both, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ante Kastela Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) i have tested an ortofon scratch needle with the numark and it fits great in the tonearm :-) the only problem is the volume is much lower than the numark cheap needle but the sound quality is a lot better :-) i have not read everything here from your posts but what you all together thinking about an amp to make the ortofon louder?That's so fucking sick, does it track much better than the regular needle? Can we see pictures? hi rasteri.. the needle track much better and the best thing is you can use more weight cause is more vinyl friendly than the numark cheap needle! https://www.facebook.com/kastela.ante/videos/975966375778236today or tomorrow i will make a cutting session with the ortofon.. peace Edited September 9, 2015 by Ante Kastela 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 FUCKING AWESOME, how difficult was it to install? EDIT : And yeah, fuck it, I'll order 10 PCBs. I'm gonna make some slight mods (4 screw holes instead of 2). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ante Kastela Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) THX, it was really not difficult to install it. i have only removed the numark system and replace it with the ortofon system. the system sits perfect and strong.. but i will fix it a bit better with screws soon! hey rasteri it would be nice if you can order 2 PCBs also for me? :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfY83tTdM2Q Edited September 10, 2015 by Ante Kastela fixed the video link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest petesasqwax Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 how tricky would it be to switch it for one of those mini innos Focus linked to earlier in the thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the other modification I'm gonna have to make. The mini-innofaders require a 5V supply and the PT-01s supply 9v, so I'll have to include a 5V regulator. Not difficult though.

DJ Rock Well Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 While you're taking requests Does the standard headphone out still work with the be fader mod? And how hard hard would it be to incorporate some kind of 'bass cut' mod on one of these portables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ante Kastela Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) one important thing i forget to tell you. the ortofon system need a bit more weight on the tonearm cause its to heavy.. i use this quick 3 euro uhu patafix idea.. is just temporarily.. searching for a better looking one.. like some plastic circles or whatever.. peace Edited September 10, 2015 by Ante Kastela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could maybe include it as a jumper setting or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethanol Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Just bought an Ion Portable for pocket money and laughing at myself for joining the 'portable' craze because I can almost guarantee once it arrives it'll never leave my studio. But I'm into the fader box mods. Put me down for one Rasteri please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rasteri Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Almost certainly, dunno what the procedure would be though. I'd buy one to reverse engineer it but the prices just now are taking the piss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubba Dutchdj Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Ad - for the record mate deoxit D5 and F5 sorts out the pops and crackles, F5 being the cleaner and D5 lubes.

Dubba Dutchdj Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Fuck knows what's going on there but that look like a pretty tidy mod, especially with the small amount of space available in the handytraxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focus Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Fuck knows what's going on there but that look like a pretty tidy mod, especially with the small amount of space available in the handytraxx Back from my break.... He soldered the Fader in Parallel to the Main Volume Fader on the Circuit Board and added a jack on the turntable so he could plug and unplug the external fader... This would be the same as a Raiden or Frisk, Passive with a High Quality Fader...with no Mods on the fader the clicks sound nice and crunchy, I'm surprised.. With this method you could use any High Quality Fader, even a channel Fader...The resistance 50k vs 100k won't matter much...for this application it's fine... What's bassically happen is that when the fader is off it is grounding the audio signal and turning the sound off... The Contactless faders came about to eleminate, bleeding, static and are low friction...but nowadays even a high grade fader with contacts will be more then enough for these portables...Those PCV Faders, EB Pro X Faders and P&G Faders are pretty solid for this stuff... The advantage of the Rasteri Kit is that you can add a Contactless Fader, Plus a better Cut-in/Cut-out, Make your Own Fader Box oradd Faders to FX Pedals or Toy Trains...If he adds a few instructions and components so as to be able use different Contact and Non-Contact Faders...That's where the magic is...

RhYmEs Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 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. I want the PCB with fader for £30!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
