Spray it down, put it in the sun for a few minutes to allow the vapors to evaporate. It will take a little longer with the shield on. Then, add a small amount of Caig CaiLube to the rail of the fader as well. Just a couple drops should be sufficient to lubricate it. |

| Graham Frazier 25.06.2010 | I wouldn't recommend rubbing alcohol. But, you can try some Deoxit D5. [ame]http://www.amazon.com/CLEANERS-LUBRICANTS-CAIG-BRAND-DEOXIT-Solution/dp/B00006LVEU[/ame] That stuff works wonders. If it doesn't fix it, then you probably need to replace the fader. |
| Leeanna Ayla 25.06.2010 | Really it looks like you should pull the fader, but if you don't want to tear into the VCI the day before a festival maybe try blowing some canned air into it and putting some isopropyl alcohol on some type of fine tip applicator. If your not removing the fader I wouldn't plug it in or put power to it for a couple of hours, it really should evaporate within minutes though. If all else fails you could disable the cross fader in the midi settings and just use the up faders. http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...ight=isopropyl http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...ight=isopropyl http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...ight=isopropyl |
| Al Henger 25.06.2010 | keep the info coming. Got a small festival coming up tmrw, so I need everything working. hahaha. |
| Leeanna Ayla 25.06.2010 | I heard cleaning it out with isopropyl alcohol. Mine just started acting up the other day to, so I was going to start looking into it pretty soon as well. |
