you can adjust it, or buy a new pitch
to adjust it, there is a small skrew you can turn to speed it up or slow it down...
but remember, before you do that... make sure you look at the red strobe and make sure it is not running off pitch

yeah, watch out with that. You'll have ALOT of trouble when you're doing this unconcentrated...

You can indeed adjust this by tightning or losening some sort of screw inside your technics, this is very risky thow, and naturally by opening your technics your warranty doesn't last anymore; This could also be used to speed up the pitch to +50% or so.

Remember, I did not tell you to do this

As far as warranty goes, I bought both of them used, so I'm not concerned about that...
If things go awry, whats the worst that could happen?

I don't know really, I've never done such things, but I guess you could always mess something up if you put to much power trying to tighten the screw and slip... But as far as just adjusting that screw, I don't think there's really anything serious that you can mess up.

Try the search option, there are some other topics about this, which are more specific about the details (and risks )

im pretty sure you'll need a potentiometer if you want to recallibrate your pitch...however unless you're familiar with this i don't think you should go and try to do it yourself

you'll probably end up making your pitch worse than it already is if you don't know what you're doing

have you tested to see how accurate your pitch is?
look at the dots on the platter and the little diagram that explains them just beside the power button
each individual dot should appear to stand still under the red power light when the pitch is at the correct speed for that dot (i.e. the top on should stand still at -3.3, big middle dot should stand still at 0, etc. etc.)

as long as you don't have a double 0, and the numbers aren't completely off...i think you're fine

ive never seen a tech that was exactly on...most are about 1.5% off in either direction


however the problem you're describing doesn't sound like your pitch callibration is off...
all that screw does it changes how fast the platter will spin when you move the pitch up and down...

what you're describing is that your pitch is drifting and not sustaining itself (i.e. say you have it at 2.5%, its drifting between 2.3% & 2.7%)

if this is the case i have no clue how to fix that

though maybe you might just need more practice?

Go there, it's what all the cool kids are doing
Bear with me while the site goes through some major construction

actually, changing the pitch is VERY easy. i've done it to mine because, i too, bought a m3d off of ebay, and it didn't seem to work right. so i looked online and found a great site that explains exactly what to do to adjust the pitch and the brake speed. go here for step-by-step instructions. you'll need a smaller phillips head. thats it!

I'd love to read it too... seems u forgot the link
allthoug, i'd not touch those things...

Click on the "here" in his, "go here for step-by-step instructions" sentence and you'll find it.

Stupid me
