VCI 100 replacing pitch controller Posted on: 21.09.2010 by Laurena Suwa Hello I am looking to by a used VCI-100 but the pitch controller is damaged.Now I am wondering if it is possible and how easy it is to replace it. And what will be the costs. | |
| Doug Bieling 21.09.2010 | Ive just had this done. The pitch fader is attached to the main board in the unit so it has to be completely dismantled. Luckily i managed to get a friend at work to do the soldering as i couldn't find any shops that would do it for me now that we live in a throw it away and buy a new one culture! Anyway the pitch fader was bought from vestax for |

| Doug Bieling 24.09.2010 | I would call Vestax, to see if they can give you a quote to fix it. As long as the board isnt broken it should be fixable. Or find a local shop that can carry out circuit board soldering to give you an idea of price. I wouldnt pay much for the unit though. You have to ask yourself, if its easy to fix why doesnt the seller get it fixed and sell it fully working for more money. |
| Laurena Suwa 23.09.2010 | Maybe I can look for someone who can soldering in my neighborhood. But what parts do I need? |
| Leeanna Ayla 23.09.2010 | Sorry, missed that. That would require soldering as well and I'm not sure where you could get one at or how much it would cost. If the seller is offering a good deal I wouldn't worry about it being broken as long as it's set in a position that makes it comfortable for you to use. |
| Laurena Suwa 23.09.2010 | No, I had misunderstood the seller is not the fader itself but it seems that the damages is the touch sensor level (plus minus knob) on the back of the VCI 100. But there is less hurry, it would be nice if I can give the seller a anwser today Else I will contact the seller a other time |
| Leeanna Ayla 23.09.2010 | You got your answer on replacing the pitch fader. It can be done and is fairly easy if you cab solder. As far as a 300 fader I doubt it will fit as well. |
| Laurena Suwa 23.09.2010 | Anyone? I like to give the seller a answer today |
| Laurena Suwa 22.09.2010 | From the Netherlands |
| Doug Bieling 22.09.2010 | Not sure about this. Where you from? |
| Laurena Suwa 22.09.2010 | It seems that the damages is the touch sensor level (plus minus knob) on the back of the VCI 100 Is it hard to replace and what will be the cost? |

| Laurena Suwa 21.09.2010 | If you fit a longer ones: how esay is it to make the cuts in the surface of the controller. And does the connection points of the PCB fit the longer ones? Of topic: Is the store displaying the current layout of the VCI-100SE? I like to know this for my decision in purchasing the second VCI 100 SE |
| Shala Wohletz 21.09.2010 | So you bought a pitch fader for a 100 or 300? |

| Shala Wohletz 21.09.2010 | I was also wondering if you could fit a longer one? a la vci 300 londer pitch with new firmware would be sweet? |
