DJ Mixer Maintenance & Restoration with DeoxIT F100 & D100

[@prodigalretrod]

In spite of the name , Deoxit "Fader" F100 and F5 are intended for all moving parts, so that includes faders, pots and switches. D5 / D100 is really a contact cleaner, so it's less lubricating.

[@D4L1979]

I always wanted this mixer. I had the thin jawn that was gray and white with the kill switches. Upgraded to the 20$ fader.

[@RealDJblaze]

Yeah, its definitely a classic! Me and my brothers still got it! Might throw an innofader in there and clean it up some more...

[@themanwhocan1000]

I had this mixer backkk in the day 1999ish

[@RealDJblaze]

Yeah, it was pretty dope back then!

[@FSwiftDJ]

Wow I use to have 626 pro lol But that mixer did the business back in the days with pair of Technics I'm talking crisp mixing straight vinyl blending No so much scratch as the faders was not on it back then lol like Technics etc, do some classic old mixer reviews man, I remember the citronics being quality ,vestax pcm etc

[@RealDJblaze]

I had a 626-PRO too and it had the red paint on it saying "626". That thing WAS a beast. I've played many gigs with that thing back before I had the money to get a Vestax...

[@FSwiftDJ]

@@RealDJblaze nice 1 mate , great channel here and reviews I think the citronics mixers was best for mixing records through lol

[@Herfmonster]

Great video but please give us one on cleaning and conditioning the contacts on a turntable tonearm, you know where the headshell connects. Thanks in advance.

[@RealDJblaze]

I used to just get a q-tip and put some rubbing alcohol on it and rub down the connections. That always seemed to work for me, but I'm sure DeoxIT has a spray that is better suited for that... Check their website.

[@Brandonbraun]

thank you!

[@bboymac84]

Review the Phases! Everyone is talking about it!!

[@RealDJblaze]

Will do! Getting mine in soon.

[@marksystemed4678]

My portablist omni fader is crackly when I turn the volume fader is over half volume. Will tue f100 fix it or should I get the f5 contact cleaner? It's already smooth.

[@kareem_the_dream]

F5 contact cleaner is what I would use!

[@marksystemed4678]

@@kareem_the_dream thanks very much I just.ordered some.

Hello, I have a DDJ 400 and some rotary pots dont move smooth. It means that they kind of scratching when I move them from 12 to 11 o'clock, like sand is stuck inbetween or something. All at the same position. I removed the knob and there is no dirt or dust, so it seems that the ptoblem is within the pots. I read a lot about deoxit but im scared of using them because it deoxicateds the lubricate or grease as Well. I dont want my pots to move freely and loose

[@kareem_the_dream]

It will not make it "more-loose" than it already is from the factory. It will only return it to its former glory. If it feels like that all the time, then that's just the way they are. I think they might just be cheap pots for the DDJ-400, but you can give it a try!

[@MrFreshniKo]

@@kareem_the_dream thanks for your answer. I read everywhere that for example the F5 cleans all the dirt and dust but also eliminates all the grease that is in the pots and I don't want that. The f100 should be only a lubricant right? My pots work just fine, but it's kind of annoying that the feeling is like this when turning. Should I use the f100 or d100?

[@kareem_the_dream]

@@MrFreshniKo Yes, that is correct. It will feel much smoother and uniform and not add any grease to the equation.

[@sesar732]

Any idea where I can get my numark scratch repaired it needs new rotary pots

[@kareem_the_dream]

You can call Numark support directly and they'll tell you where to take it for repair...

[@andrewgjordeni]

Does it cause any smooth problems on the up fadders? I’m afraid that it might lead it way more free in the moves!

[@RealDJblaze]

It will only make it as smooth as it once was int he past...

[@dennishenderson2294]

How do you restore the white gain line that are faded

[@kareem_the_dream]

You can try to clean them off first and if they still aren't good, then you can repaint them.

[@jorgeernesto2129]

Hi, I have the gemini umx 7, can I put it some innofader?, cheers amigo..

[@RealDJblaze]

Yes, go to the Innofader website to look up your mixer and choose the correct one.

[@Klumsyy13]

will this work the faders on my DDJ 1000?? Thank you!

[@RealDJblaze]

Yes it will!

[@djilyaz]

Do vintage mixers sound better?

[@kareem_the_dream]

Not necessarily... I guess it depends on the mixer in particular.

[@brandencreado5463]

Hey bro my z2 crossfader is not responding caus I didn’t use for a while so what should i do to get it back to work ?

[@kareem_the_dream]

Does it work without the software and using regular vinyl?

[@brandencreado5463]

@@kareem_the_dream i use regular Skratch vinyls only but the crossfader is just not responding .

[@kareem_the_dream]

@@brandencreado5463 That's strange. It should just work a little bit in that case. If it doesn't work at all then something is really wrong. Maybe try to use the F5 spray in there but that is used mostly to lube it up.

[@brandencreado5463]

@@kareem_the_dream it’s working when i keep my xfader curve on normal but when i keep it on sharp /➖\ its not responding.

[@MrSouleater5000]

Can I use this at my Traktor S2 ?

[@RealDJblaze]

Yes you can!

[@bruh-ym5ob]
