weird pitch situation...
the sun rose. twas a new day. i get over to my friend's house, power on his tech12mk2's, and his mixer and start to spin. all seemed normal, but after a few records later, we noticed something was not right.
not 1, but BOTH decks seem to be faster than they normally should be. they have taken their fair share of abuse, so the dots were not 100% static at 0%, now, they are just about the same as they used to be, only things seem to be going faster at 0%. we did a couple tests by playing records at 0% and listening to the mp3's at once, and the records sound faster.
the wierdest thing is, BOTH decks do it, almost equally. i didn't study the situation fully, but my friend says it seems to be approximately 1.5% faster. weird.
any thoughts? we both agree the pitch control must be outta sync.
either way, he's off to miami for a week and some, i get to keep his decks here at my house to have fun with, plus about 80 records 
well, discuss, tell me what you think may be the issue...
