Thank you for this vid! I was concerned about my stiff fader but now I feel more at ease because of your quick fix.

@@djsupafly1 this page seems to be invalid now. Any idea if they're still covering the costs? Also, thanks so much for the videos.

@@ratewonder support.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us/categories/4417227498393 yes they are still covering the costs but I have heard that people who got their 2nd unit that the fader is still doing the same thing.

I don’t think you’ll get the best out of your fader doing it this way pioneer puts such a thick amount of lube on it. Clean it off get all the dust out mine is a year old and I use decks savers and I was blown away how much dust and Specs got into the fader clean it live it I reversed the rubber nubs on the up faders so my up faders are as loose as my fader

Pioneer didn't make it easy to remove the fader on the rev7. There is no top plate and to access the fader assembly, a board is sitting on top of it and requires disconnecting it along with many ribbon cables. This is the easiest solution to anyone looking to fix their stiff fader without returning it back to pioneer.
