The Jesse Dean fader arrived today. Just finished installing it.
The fader replacement itself is a piece of cake. Hardest part is removing the capacitor, but even that is easy. However, getting past the golden foil was a bit nerve-wrecking, as the foil piece creaks ominously as you bend it to reach the screw underneath. Also remember that the middle screw under the foil has a washer - remember to put it back in the middle.
What was actually the trickiest part was to get the Dean fader to sit diagonally in the slot like the original switch was positioned. The diagonal fader/switch orientation is the most ergonomic IMO as the platter is so close to the fader. I had to cut down one big chunk of plastic from inside before I could rotate the dean fader to the correct orientation!
Just minutes in with the new fader but I can already say I won’t be missing the switch lol. One thing though - the jesse dean fader pops slightly, just like my ecler eternal fader. It’s not annoyingly loud or anything, just thought worth mentioning it.
@muzka did you get your PT01? How you liking it?
