calibrating pitch on 1200's

hi

a few days ago I got a second hand 1200 and the first thing I did was to calibrate the pitch using some guides I found online, and it worked mostly ok-- i have a single 0% point, the +6% and +3,3% are perfect BUT no matter what I do, I can't get the -3,3% point to be exact.
it is on ~-2,1%! which is funny because the other ones (+) are fine.

so is this a problem with my tt? can it be fixed? not that it's a huge issue but it still bothers me.

thanks in advance

this is pretty good explained everything but the way he does it, it takes a long time:

so if you have a multimeter do it that way:

still i recommend reading the first one because it explains more thoroughly how to open the tt

im guessing yeah it's fixable. some recalibration needed, or perhaps... a new pitch slider? well anyways, its doable.
