They should really make that tone arm wire a solderless connection so people can easily repair them and even swap it for a straight tonearm. Also it seems to me they'd be better off making the fuses easily replaceable rather than where they are. Seems to me it'd be a great selling point to say these are cheaper and far easier to repair, customize (ie change the tonearm), or tweak.
good vid, looking to replace tonearms on rp8000mk2 so assuming they are quite close if not the same. One tip for getting the new tonearm wires through the shielded cable - cut a plastic straw to correct length then feed tonearms wires through,then feed the straw through the shielded cable, peace
Love my rp8ks. It’s clear that overall build quality isn’t up there with technics but they seem to have made it strong where it matters. To anyone wondering - yes you can do long mixes on these - they hold their pitch well and wow and flutter seems about the same as was on my 1200mk2s (judging by the fluctuation of about +/- .05 bpm when using timecode) Slightly disappointed to hear people having issues with them as my experience has been nothing but positive. If you were to get something other than 1200s I still think these are a good choice (7000 or 8000 depending on your needs)
One way that you can fish the audio wires threw the silver wire is by taping the audio wires close to the end of a toothpick and then stick the other end of the toothpick threw the silver wire and feed it threw till it reaches the end and then pull the toothpick to feed them threw. Don’t know if that makes sense lol? I’ve done it several times.
Great video! I think I have an issue with my moto being slightly too slow to reach back to full speed when touching the record. Is there an easy way you know of to check the motor/calibrate the speed? Thanks in advance!
Hi...I think I have to replace my tonearm and this tutorial is awesome!!...btw I have mk2 but I think there are not big differences...or are?...I have a one question and one, maybe, new technique what you was talking about at 24:00...question first: is there a model number on the tonearm?(i want to order right one)...and the technique: before you pull original signal cables throught shielding you can attach some rope to them... when you mirror this thereafter you pull new cables the original way back :)
Hi, great video... Is there any way you can do a quick how to video on changing out the "Red" colored Strobe Light and the "White" colored Target Light to both display in a "BLUE" color. Myself and a lot of my dj friends are interested in this type of mod. Thank you.
Hey @Cj scratch Torres I love to watch your videos... Might u could give me a hint.... I have 20 year's old reloop rp-3000 mk 3 After 5mins run they loose speed or wobbles Uve any idea
This video shows why surge protection is extremely important for mobile/ club DJs, we invest way too much money for this type of issue to occur and set us back financially. I’m sure those part weren’t cheap.
CJ Scratch Torres How many Technics versus Reloops do find you need to repair? If the ReLoop repairs out number the Technics, does this mean the reloops are inferior?
@@ONEHENDRIX they all are based on the same Hanpin basic design which is why they are called Super OEMs. Stanton, Audio Technica, Reloop, Pioneer - you name it. They differ a bit in deck size, features and dampening but that's about it.
@@ONEHENDRIXDo you think Technics are better protected when a surge hits the deck? They are better build of course they are. Do they last longer, mine is from 1976. But it has been refurbished also. They are great but they are not bombproof.
@@CJScratch thank you for your reply, i ordered the board, will be here in a couple of weeks. and it would be greatly appreciated. Your video is really great in detail. i will hit you up once the part arrives
the kutter fader if im correct is a contact fader like the original jesse dean fader ..... if your referring to the internal fader that mounts to the inside of the pt-01 scratch where the scratch switch goes jesse has two options his original which was also a contact and an updated version which is a non contact version . in my opinion the non contact version is the better option . i also have a plug and play fader known as the pulse it is a non contact fader that is a direct drop in fader . there is no need to modify or open the pt01 scratch to install the Pulse fader . you can find info of the Pulse fader at www.124c.org
you know what your talkng about and i need a question answered? what is the RP-4000MK2 interms of motor? is the RP-4000mk2 based on the hanpin motor? as many people are saying Namely companes and shops, stating dont bother with the RP-4000mk2, however i dont have £500 or £600 just for 1 deck. many say the RP-4000mk2 are great decks for mixing and many say no buy the RP-7000 or RP8000. im not interested in timecode or bells and whistles, i just mix records Is the RP-4000mk2 a good buy and will they mix ok :)
I have an RP7000 MK2 that just stopped spinning. It turns on but no movement. I think something is wrong with the motor. Would dropping in a new motor fix this do you think? And how much is that part?
most likely its a component on the board ... you could replace the whole main board or try to trouble shoot it ... you can see if they have the part on instrumentalparts.com

Hey, you may help me with an issue I'm having with this reloop 7000 mk2 I just got ( bought it used and seller didn't tell me about it). I'm hearing grinding noises when the platter is spinning. it varies from a noticable grinding noise for a split second to a barely noticable one. sometimes it's completely gone. you reckon it's the motor that requires lubrication?

@@johnnyd3195 I am looking forward to doing this mod myself! I’m installing red leds. I’m just waiting for the leds to arrive. You have to make sure you get good quality leds because the cheap ones are just not bright enough to light up the buttons good and there not going to last long. For the stobe light you will need a 5mm led.
I’ve started having an issue with mine, Have you ever come across the platter suddenly speeding up for a split second In mid scratch? It feel like the platter stops sometimes as well, just for a split second again, Always in -50 pitch.
it sounds like the issue i had with my numark... there is a chip that regulates the speed of the platter ... what i suggest is looking at the main motor board to see if anything looks burned swollen or cracked .. you can always hit me up on facebook messenger
@@CJScratch Im going down the warranty route at the moment, I’ve only had it 3 months. I don’t dare to take a screwdriver to it. Glad to know This sort of fault is heard of, I can’t find any kind of mention of it anywhere, Thanks for the advice tho! Really appreciate it.
Hey from what I'm told, this is a problem with all newer super oem turntables. I have the 7000mk2 and it drives me nuts. I got the deck so I could use the 133bpm battle records.
@@BobbyBriscoeBeats yea I’ve heard that also. I ended up sending it back, I tried a mixar LTA after that and it did exactly the same thing straight out of the box. I’m going to have a look for a decent vestax or Stanton on eBay next.
depends on how you get it done ? if you order the parts and do the repair yourself than it will just be the parts cost plus your time . if you send it off to a repair shop it can be exponentially higher cost
sometimes the motor works, goes in and ou. the weird thing is it works when i lift the plate and put it back on. then when it goes it slows down to a stop and when it does turn it squeaks a little bit.
So, that is why people tend to go for vintage turntables: the new ones are already dead after few years! However when going with the oldies which have lasted for years, if you clean and re-grease them thoroughly, you can hardly find spare parts if something goes wrong … Imagine you buy a $700 vintage turntable for its high quality and then the motor goes dead -- How much are you ready to pay for the repair if any??
By the time that happens, you would be dead and that turntable passed on to your kid. I’m on 35 year old Technics 1200 and it works exactly as it did when my father took it out of the box. And what’s this re-grease I hear people mentioning?! 🙄 It’s magnet driven, brushless core. Smh.
@@ONEHENDRIX well, DJing does put a lot of strain on the peripheral components. The motor might last forever, but a repair guy I talked to yesterday told me getting a simple replacement pitch slider for a Mk2 or Mk5 will set you back 300 bucks easy. There does come a point when you start to think about replacing the whole unit. And with a Mk7, no one knows how the deck will prove itself over time. And you can get two new 7000 Mk2's for the price of one new Mk7.
Cut the old cables at the Tonearm base. Solider it to the new cables and pull it through the shield. I always do this and its easy. Greetz
Thanks for this disassembly. That made me rethink to buy a reloop in favor of a classic 1200.
Excellent video I bought a Reloop RP8000 MK2 noise humming is created from sound systems

should be the same and why didn't i think of that ? good idea .... thanks for watching
All the 8000 has over the 7000 is the MIDI stuff and the LCD showing you pitch, torque and brake. The rest is exactly the same as in the 7000.
Can I ask why you needed to replace the tonearms on the rp8k mk2? I have the mk1s and the design looks slightly different
Love them decks nice job fixing
thank you

the only issue with this tt, is the tonearm , it bends so easily, too weak metal. My cat falls sleep over one and that was a real pain.

are the motors bad in this turntable motors
