Transform Switch Rotation From the factory, the transform switches operate vertically, that is (to get all technical for a moment) fore and aft. You can perform a simple modification to make these switches operate sideways, or even diagonally, to suit your carefully cultivated set of operational preferences. Tools To do this procedure, you will need a small phillips screwdriver, nerves of steel, grit, determination, and a steady hand. People should find you ruggedly charming, yet approachable. 5.
d.2 2-channel DJ Mixer Replacing Faders If the faders ever need to be replaced, this can be done with the help of your trusty screwdriver. 10. Follow steps 1 to 5 and remove the top panel. 11. Take care to only remove the two outer screws of each fader you are replacing, as shown below. 15. Replace the top cover, and make sure that all the meter LEDs and the Reverse LEDs are poking through before you tighten down the screws securely. 16. Check that all the faders and switches are working normally.
