Question about Tech 1200s

You know how in the manual it says that if the pitch is so and so percent, the nth row of dots and the side of the platter should be stable... If my dots aren't stable according to the manuals specs, is this something I should have checked out?

i think that would mean that your pitch bender is slightly mis-calibrated.

Exactly what tu-face said. I am giving you a link to a FAQ that illustrates every adjustment you would possibly want to do to your Techs and this link will take you straight to pitch calibration.

Hope that is what you are looking for....

Ooooh, lots of tweaking I can do here. Thanks man. I'm also wondering what kind of readings you guys are getting to make each row of dots stationary?

On my mk2

1st row (+6%) - Roughly at +6.3% so a little off
2nd row (+3.3%) - Correct pitch
3rd row (0%) - I have 2 places where i get this reading, at 0 and +1.3%
4th row (-3.3%) - Roughly at -1.6% so it's way off

Now on my m3d

1st row (+6%) - Roughly at +6.8% so it's somewhat off
2nd row (+3.3%) - Roughly at 4.5% so it's way off
3rd row (0%) - Correct Pitch, with or without the reset button
4th row (-3.3%) - Roughly at -3.7% so it's slighty off

Thanks
