to all the mk2 owners!!
since im probably going tomorrow to get 2 of those, i want to ask ppl who got those if the pitch notch click at 0% is made a problem for you somehow ???
it's not really a "problem" it can just bother you a bit sometimes. you get used to it after a while though. i think even though no click is more comfortable, it's better to have one, that way you get used to it and never have trouble when running into one...
It would be better without it but it can be worked around...if you're getting a good deal on those mk2's I say go with them.
hellz yeah...
i have pretty old & used mk2s so on one of my dex, near the 0 mark it REALLY wavers. so much so that i cannot leave the track near there and i dont' dare try to mix it.
i have to always move the pitch of the other track if this track on this deck seems to want to be between the 1%s.
sux
wish i had the mk3s.
No problems here.
Hey dknylady, why don't you just buy new pitch controls, you could buy the m3d ones and have them put in.
Where can you get these? And would it be simple to install yourself? I alleviate the pitch lock problem the same way DKNYlady does. I find that the pitch increments get wider in between +-1% so it's not possible to get the same bpm as the other tracks. Luckily i got an m3d on the other side so I'm free to adjust the m3d when i get the mk2's speed as close as possible.

whoops i meant i want mk5 s. damn my brain is messed up right now after finals.
anyway i have thought of doing this , and i really need to, but i've been lazy.
besides there is no way that i could install it myself, i don't care if you come to my house and show me, it ain't gonna happen. i can barely change a lightbulb.
you can get cheaper technics parts at the pioneer site, since pioneer owns technics.
for now i guess i'll continue to suffer. 
if I find a record has to be pitched right around zero I just pitch the active track up a little. that doesn't bother me.
other than that, I remember seeing a web site where they sold the entire pitch slider unit, so you didn't have to solder it in...I forget where though, search this forum and u might be able to find it.

I actually PREFER the click being there... I have old and used MK2s, and I don't have any problems with the click/pitch speed at all.

oh yeah i meant panasonic. i've been to the technics extra parts site through the panasonic site before..
told you my brain is really messed up right now...
I have a pair of MK2s, love 'em to death, and personally the zero pitch click doesn't really bug me all that much, just need to be careful if I'm mixing near it. I don't experience the wavering problems that DKNLady has with hers though.
That said, generally speaking when you play in a club, they'll have a pair of ancient Tech MK2s that are beat to shit, so I definately don't really mind using them at home. If I ever needed new decks, I would of course buy MK5s in a heartbeat...
ok , from your posts i understood that i dont have to worry about this click thing...so im gonna hit the road now
yeah totaly. doesnt bother me at all

Is there a way to get rid of the quartz lock? Like... by opening it up and removing it?

Lol... Im definitely not gonna try it. Im pretty good with electrical, but I dont have the tools nor am I gonna risk doing that on something as expensive as that. I would buy some half assed near broken technics to experiment with and learn with.
its never caused me any problems...!
