| Pretty sure it's just a couple of screws you have to deal with. |

i did it on my vestax pcv-175 and it was a piece of cake. unscrew a couple of screws, disconnect the faders and connect the rotaries screw them on and you're set.
i would think it would be quite similar on the pioneer. |

| Yep faders are held in with a couple of screws and a little plastic connector to connect the fader to the PCB. |

Can I do that with my Xone92 ? (Faders to Rotaty) |

| Yes they sell a rotary kit. I think. Maybe you have to order it as a rotary already but I don't see why they wouldn't sell the kit. It's just taking out some screws and disconnecting the wires from the circuit board. No soldering or anything like that. |

i'm sure you could if you'd get a rotary kit for the xone:92 somewhere. i haven't seen one available anywhere though and i'm quite sure they don't sell one. and also on the xone:92 the soundboards and everything are connected to the faceplate. so when you unscrew it you'd have to find a way to get the faceplate removed as well and you'd have to get a new faceplate too as it's one piece unlike the djm 800 where you just change the fader area when you change it to rotary.
so in short: it could be done, but i don't think it'll be easy at all.
this is the reason i bought the rotary version in the first place (altho i'm not really bothered that i don't have the option to change to linear faders as i don't see ever wanting to use them). |

| I'm sure there must be rotary kits out there for the 92, but at the same time know they sell the mixers seperately and charge a lot more for the rotary one :mad: |
