My Numark DM3050 is haunted

Haunted or the crossfader has leakage issues from time to time - questions:

Can crossfaders be fixed or do they need to be replaced?

I also suspect that the level meter is a bit dishonest... it might show two channels to be at massively different levels but on listening they sound the same. I'm thinking it could be the needles/turntables at fault or maybe the work of ghosts in the mixer - is there any way to test it? All the logical ways I used to test it are still leaving me baffled...

Regarding the crossfader leakage issue - can anyone reccommend a good place to get it serviced/excorcised?

i think you need to replace your fader. I gather that sort of thing happens with magnetic faders.
you could test the level indicators by splitting an input over two channels and comparing them.

Penno,

I run a business servicing DJ Equipment. If you are interested I can replace the crossfader for around $80. (Most places will charge about $70 an hour labor, mine is inclusive of parts)

I am in East Brunswick and could have it back to you within a week.

Feel free to give me a call on 0427 268 724

Of all the logical things I tried this beats them... I'll do it when I get home hey

And Samurai - do you guys offer a 24 hour or like speedy service? I couldn't go without for week

Theres a $20 fee for 24 hour turnaround, so you'd be looking at $100.
If you can drop it off to me saturday I can have it ready within 24hours. If early saturday morning you could pick it up about 5ish.

Are you near Brunswick area?
