Hopefully you sort out that exactly is the issue for the L/R channels for being unevenly balanced. Hopefully its just the headshell wires or the tonearm wiring, but thanks for giving a teardown and peek on the inside of a QFO. 18:14 I found the pitch lever on the edge of the platter's mechanism's engineering with the pulley/belt very impressive and always wondered how they managed to mechanically figure that out.
You should get a grounding bracelet when working on the internals. Some might say it's not necessary but I have bad luck with shit so I usually do it. Plus the material your working on looks like it'll build up static easy.
Yeah an anti-static bracelet is a good precautionary step to use some find it necessary. In the 20 plus years I have worked on and repaired electronics I haven't once shorted out a board with static electricity. I do appreciate your suggestion and i might invest in one in the near future.
Great video, i always wanted to open up my QFO but due to lack of resources i never found the courage to do it. I'm happy i discovered your channel. Have you thought of adding an output to the qfo straight from the needle for timecode use? Would you consider it to be an easy task?
You wet the cross fader with water not good at all alchohol is better but i will neve put that either that will mess up the cross fader from the truntable use electronics cleaning is better bro im a old DJ 48 n believe me i when true a lot of cleaning on my cross fader even before vestax came out n they broke others mixer cus we could use the cross fader for scratching we use to us the line n phono button to scratch cuts cus the old mixer we could not transform n do all those crazy scratch oh now we are way better whit rane mixer came out made in the USA but i put a innofader pro cus the cuts is nice n sharp oh a mini innofader they good too n it work whit most old vestax
i have never come across an issue while i cleaned my faders using dish soap ,water and tooth brush as long as the fader is dried completely. of course you can use IPA but even that has a small percentage of water in it .. this to me is the best way to get all the grease and build up out of the faders … thanks for your comment
I noticed that when I played a normal (non scratch) record on mine, I could tell that the speed isn't consistent. Just enough to tell that it doesn't sound right. I wonder if the motor is bad, or if the belt could need replacing.
The prototype is better to me but they never put it in the market on the tour throw out asia DJ qbert is using them look very good that video they sale it too check out the laid out how it look that the one in looking for qbert got it i know that 😁
next episode is what dishwasher setting to put the QFO in for a deep clean.
The holy grail.

yes it was the main issue of faulty head shell wires ...
Nice Bro 👍🌋 so good
Good job you very patient with it so sad they made out of plastic but is a good truntable for battle n scratch
it is a fun piece to have for the collection
Won’t water cause corrosion? Even if you dry it. I wonder if contact cleaner is better for this
you can use rubbing alcohol if that suits you better ... as long as you dry the fader you will not run into issues
Agree with tou man, better use IPA..
Right on!

@@djdeejdjay8669 Are you implying that I have no clue how to work with or on electronics? thanks for the comment I hope you found this video helpful.
Tight man.

So there are only two versions of qfo? Silver with asts and black ‘le’ with normal pdx 2000 mk2 tonearm?
correct

Put a innofader pro on it be more sharp
i actually have a custom fader i made in there now

Like a toy 😁😅😅
