How much to repair pitch fader. plus i blew the tranformer

Ok it could be the following of which is a very detailed way to go about fixing it so here we go:
1. Make sure your deck is set to 33rpm & that the pitch fader is at the greenlight or dead center spot. Remove the platter & plastic under covering that bares 5 phillips head screws.
2. This is what it looks like without the platter & plastic cover.

3. Next flip your turntable over onto a big fluffy pillow to protect your tonearm mainly.

4. Remove the feet & all the screws from the bottom rubber cover. After that simply pull up the rubber cover easy & it may be a little tight in there so just do it nice & easy until it has been separated and completely removed out of the way.

5. Now on the underside of your pitch fader you'll see the board & locate the hole thats in that board & use a phillips screwdriver to turn it to the left all the way until it stops.
6. Now flip it over and turn it on, make sure its set to 33rpm & the pitch fader is st to "0" or where the greenlight turns on.


7. Then move the pitch fader in the "+" or positive direction or slide it towards you slowly a couple of increments say until you get to the "+2" the Big Red Dot moves & then comes to a stop again like it was before you moved the pitch fader when you stop on "+2". When that happens leave the pitch fader there turn off the deck, remove the platter and then unplug the pitch fader from its internal connection.
8. After its unplugged flipp it bck over again& now you need to bust out your Multimeter & set it to the 20k mark.
9. After that then take your 2 contact points and place them on these to solder joints on the pitch fader board to get your first reading.
10. Again dont go by what reading I have in the picture but instead whatever reading your mutlimeter gives you & write that number down & now you have to get the 2nd reading.
11. First you must reach underneath & now you can slide the pitch fader back into the "0" position or in the middle again & then repeat the same process you did when you got the first reading by placing your contacts again back on the two solder points and take a 2nd reading.

12. Now while you hold the black/red contacts on the solder points, you take your screwdriver & place it back into that hole from earlier & slowly turn it to the right until you see the reading on the multimeter screen matching whatever the number was that you got on your 1st reading. When they match stop & flip over your turntable & make sure you re-connect that plug for your pitch fader.

13. Now go ahead and put the rubber bottom cover back on with all those screws but leave the top internal plastic cover off still, of course you can put the platter back on but leave that plastic part underneath it off. TO BE CONTINUED...

Hello, yes if no 24 volts is present on secondary side of transformer that it must be replaced.

you have to replace the slide pot.they are made to be replaced.remove the pitch cover,unplug the cable with white wires and blue connector (it just slides in,or out),remove the ground wire (the single wire with white connector (it just slides off too).now unscrew the blue metal houseing form the pitch fader.now you have a fader+motherboard soldered together.you will have to desolder the posts.once this is done discard the old slide pot.test fit the new slide pot gently into the motherboard.if fits correctly,and posts are lined up,solder into place.clean debris if necessary.let cool,reconnect,test pitch.good luck! i had to replace mine,and it was a bad slidepot.take my advice,order 2 slidepots,just in case the other goes out,because they are hard to get your hands on!

the transformer has a thermal cut out inside the winding.if you peel back the varnish coated paper where the wires go in ,you will see a cylinder .about 1/2 inch long with a cone shaped end.The thermal rating is on it.Replace that and it works again.
The typical output on that type of tranformer is a 12v 36 volt and 100 volt center tap winding set.when rectified,will put out +-9,+-27 and +-70 volts .

Is this a tube tv?IF it is the Flyback tranformer have a little still bar tranformer hight current volt make that noise take off the tv cover put some glue on the little steal bar should stop the noise or lower it very good.

Answer a number of questions:
Is the tranformer power adequate for the train and is it a working tranformer?
Will the train run by connecting the wires directly to the two points of the train (wheels and center rail connector)?
Are the tracks new?
Is the lockon new?

You have to properly calibrate your unit after any repairs. If you purchase the Service Manual for this unit, it will instruct you on how to accomplish this.

Hi there!
You may want to start by checking for suspicious looking components or hot spots. There may be some Caps faulty in the power supply or Horizontal. Good Luck, Jus004

You can buy a contact cleaner spray and spray inside the fader while moving the fader from -10 to +10. If the problem is dust or dirt this will fix it. If the problem presists, then go ahead and get a fader replacement.It's easy to replace ;-) Regards. DiMiS Greece.

The high pitch sound could have been the flyback transformer. check the horzontal output transsitor if is gone the tranfomer is sure to be gone . Tranformers are varying in price are the transistors can also vary you could be looking at around 150.00 plus labour.
