rather annoyed :whip:

my nearly new 1210 m5g just broke, it just decided to stop working. i have only had the thing for about 5 months it was working one minute, then i switched it all off and dusted everything with a feather duster, put the carts back on and zip, its dead.

all the wires are as good as the day i bought it, changed the fuse in the plug, still dead

needless to say,

i might use this as an excuse to swap it for the new vestax beast

that sucks for you, oh well get the other mixer you mentioned.

Did you try to plug it in?

Posted by Zild on Dec-31-2004 16:08:

I've never heard of that happening. Might want to check out your connections and make sure you didn't accidently switch it over to US voltage. I have a friend that switched his over to Euro voltage here in the states and then couldn't figure out why his motor was "burned out".

BTW I thought these things weren't supposed to break... 5 months old you say?... and it broke you say?... TECHS you say?... hmmmm... Interessting... very interessting.

lol, yes, and for some strange reason i even tried a different socket..

i have had the thing on its back, all the wires are tip top, as are the voltage settings. as i said the thing is approx 5 months old, my numarks lasted longer

no these things arn't supposed to break, especially things that cost �475.

This is the solution.

Don't suppose you removed the Main platter and checked the fuse thats connected to the main PCB board.. that could have blown SOME how...

Might want to check it..

Feather duster = static. I bet the internal fuse has gone, that's all.

thats my guess too.

Posted by cheesy on Dec-31-2004 22:37:

static wouldn't blow a fuse. it might fry some sensitive electronic components though.

Posted by jupiterone on Dec-31-2004 23:20:

yea the feather duster was my guess too.

Posted by beats and beeps on Dec-31-2004 23:54:

I never really got the point of feather dusters, I mean if you use a damp rag it actually removes the dust, but with feather dusters all youre doing is stirring it up, back into the air.

Anyways...yeah...

cuz anyone wearing a french maid outfit looks so much hotter with a feather duster as a prop instead of a damp rag...

thats the only reason feather dusters are still around... simply for the novelty of the feather duster.

well... either that, or its just a conspiracy....top execs at the feather duster companies see to it that anyone trying to change the way things get dusted is quickly dealt with. theres just terrible mob warfare between them and the swiffer people....

and now you know too much.... you'll be found stabbed in the back with the sharpened handle of a feather duster...
youve been warned....

this isn't just any feather duster, its an ostrich feather duster. BMW use these things because they remove a shit load of dust.. but even if it built up static, a) it wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) be enough to fuck anything up, b) the thing is grounded, it doesn't matter, c) i am pretty sure that the technics guys know that people clean their decks. i have always cleaned my decks this way, if a fucking numark tt1650 and a vestax pdx2000 can deal with it why the fuck can't the 'best' deck on the market?

veezee + kinetic energy, you are blatently clueless . that deck shits all over the technics from a great height and it is FAR from standard. although i am still undecided on whether to swap it for the mk2 pro as i do like the lack of the 10 minute transition period changing from 1 deck to another. i suppose its all about what the retailer will let me do.

Posted by Gunyouken on Jan-03-2005 15:19:

What is the fuse rating? 10 amps? 5 amps? 2 amps? I would love to see static from a feather duster generate even 1 amp of current. I doubt it can even generate a milli amp.

Man dies after electrocution by feather duster.

where abouts would this be located? would it involve voiding the warranty? if so, i'll leave it, i would rather just swap it under warranty.

gunyouken: the fuse in the plug is 5a, no idea about this internal one.. i shouldn't even think the duster would create 10 mA

Posted by Gunyouken on Jan-03-2005 15:38:

I woulda swapped it too. good call. You gonna get the mk2 pro then? or you still undecided?

Posted by Zild on Jan-03-2005 17:16:

Technics will always have a special place in my heart but I can admit those Vestax decks are nice. I wouldn't ever sell or trade my techs but I'd consider buying those Vestax decks when I can scrounge up some money. I wouldn't go so far as to say they shit on Techs because I don't feel they do but they're a viable alternative.

Tu Face - return the mk5g's & get 1 of those 2300 mk2 pro's

Then you can give me a 1st hand review on it to let me know if its worth buying over the mk5g's!
