CJ, FYI There is a plastic pin on the bottom of the platter to hold the belt in place when you're replacing the platter, you just gently revolve the platter twice after placement until it aligns in place.
thanks for the heads up i have been getting a lot of feed back and honestly i wasn't aware thats what those little tabs were for until people started to inform me ...
In order to use the plastic pins to reattach the belt, I had to cut out an approximately 2cm piece of the skratch steady ring because the belt wouldn't catch with the skratch steady ring in place. Good alternative if you don't want to drill a hole in your platter.
its actually not that bad to fix there is actually to little tabs on the bottom of the platter if you loop the bet to that tab it will loop around the motor once you spin it .... get a portable its the best decision i ever made ... to be able to scratch anywhere
Mike Jordan did you happen to successfully make a steady scratch ring? I would buy one from you if you did. And if you did I would start selling them for half the price to give these guys competition.
@CJ Scratch man I've got a question for you... Have You ever thought about trying to mod the outputs, because I honestly HATE the fact that when you plug in the headphones - it cuts out the master output... Because I use the pt01 with a bunch of other stuff (sp 404sx, kaossilator etc) - and it really pisses me off to constantly plug in /out the headphones when searching for the adequate sample to scratch/loop.. So the question is - is there any way to mod it internally VS building some external mini mixer or A/B box or whatever? Like, having both your headphones and RCA output cable plugged in, and receiving the signal? Or in the worst case scenario, just placing a simple a/b switch somewhere?
@scupakus I'm not talking about inputs. I'm talking about OUTPUTS. When you plug in your headphones, the master RCA output doesn't send signal. So, instead of using bunch of Y cables (like I'm doing), or going for A/B splitter box or additional mixer - all I'm asking is : does someone know a way how to mod that output and possibly place a li'l switch on the pt01
Bein Šnjarovski like Rca output? I don't know. Of. You can add some.more it's. Possible if you have sockets. Just.add.next.one.to.the circuit. You can about switching off sound. When something is plugged its probably some other circuit board or maybe a switch. Not sure here but extra outputs. Can be added to existing circuit
Thank you. I bought one on ebay (this one : www.ebay.fr/itm/Numark-PT01-scratch-ring-to-reduce-the-vibration-of-the-support-disk/112443279995?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 ) But, it slows down the platter :(
U need to get this one !! www.ebay.de/itm/182630812412 I put the platter off and on the spindle is already one washer, i took it off and used two of the washers that came with the scratch steady ring. Works for me, u have to figure out how much washers u need. Some use 1-3, some other 0. its kind of an experiement, but i got it then u got it too. At the beginning i thought too it doesnt work, u need to figure it out. For the rubber band, go in some kind of souvenirs or 1€ shop and just get a rubberband armband. Like this: www.ebay.de/itm/262296549076 I am using this one. Works nice. Hope that helps. Good luck :)
Thank you, i will try with washers. For the rubber band, it changed the picth. Even with the pitch pot fully counterclockwise, it turn too fast. So i removed it for now.
It's ok ! I put a slim washer under the platter and it's ok. I put the rubber band too, and it works. I think my first pitch problem was due to a belt flip. Thank you again !
the handytrax has a bigger platter circumference so it does have better torque . as far as a rubber band mod i haven't tried it but im sure it can be done ....
the hair tie band mod on the tone arm or the rubber wrist band on the platter ...the the rubber wrist band on the platter actually adds more torque to the the platter ... the hair tie mod keeps the tone arm sturdy minimizing the skipping

AWESOME! Thanks for that little tidbit of info. I want to get the best out of my new toy.
Great video brother 👍! I was going to get that ring 2, but after seeing that belt, lol 😁! it's a pain in the butt. Thanks 👍👍👍

i would like to thank you so much because of thar risk rubber band trick my numarks works agin thank you
What modification did you make to the switch?
So everything worked perfect pure genius
Why can’t I find this anywhere now everyone is out of stock has it discontinued?
CJ, can you tell me the specs of the steady scratch ring? Like the thickness, width and diameter? I want to try to print one on my 3D printer. Thanks
DARRYL JOHNSON did u manage to print one ?
Do you know how much is the skratch steady thickness?
I printed one but it was slightly to small. Need to adjust the measurements and print another. I will let you know if I get it done this weekend.
Mike Jordan did you happen to successfully make a steady scratch ring? I would buy one from you if you did. And if you did I would start selling them for half the price to give these guys competition.
So is it really worth installing that ring? Im thinking about getting one for my pt01. Thanks for the upload..
i ended up removing it after all the platter would scrape against it...
Hey @CJ Scratch can you put that rubber band on the printed side as well will the effect be the same?
yeah you should be fine to do so
CJ Scratch thanks so much for the reply and the reassurance bro! I actually made my own mod had a wristband I got for free
just ordered mine!

there are ways to ad extra inputs mp3 players etc.

openformat.la/shop/flesh-one-simple-mixer/ check this out
maybe a dentists tool. a hooked one. to get the band on .
Where can i found the rubber band and the scratch steady ring in Europe ?
Thank you.
TS One check out ebay uk👍🏻
Thank you.
I bought one on ebay (this one : www.ebay.fr/itm/Numark-PT01-scratch-ring-to-reduce-the-vibration-of-the-support-disk/112443279995?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 )

Thank you again !
That "e clip" is called a snap ring, bud. And if you DON'T want to risk breaking that, use a pair of snap ring pliers.
its actually referred to as an E-clip but thanks for watching
Can we do the rubber wrist band mod to a Handytrax? Thanks
the handytrax has a bigger platter circumference so it does have better torque . as far as a rubber band mod i haven't tried it but im sure it can be done ....
@@CJScratch thanks..Will try it then...
does this work for handytrax?
honestly I'm not sure ill have to try it
Maybe just drill a hole in platter so you dont have problem puting the belt
Where can I buy a rubber band that thick from?
the rubber wrist band is what is is they sell them online or you can check hot topic in your local mall..
Good work, where can i buy the rubber band mod and scratch steady ring? Thank you
I guess that’s how they justify charging $35 for having the stickers and coupons and trading cards included.
ha i guess so .... funny part is i don't even use it
What exactly does the rubber band mod do please? Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question I'm learning about all this
the hair tie band mod on the tone arm or the rubber wrist band on the platter ...the the rubber wrist band on the platter actually adds more torque to the the platter ... the hair tie mod keeps the tone arm sturdy minimizing the skipping
@@CJScratch its crazy how such little simple things like this can make such improvements! Thanks again brother and merry Christmas 💯✌
@@tgoddard307 yup i love portables ... have a good holiday
should have been 60 sec length max
ummm ok
Na rubbers band is shit the belt band does not stay on for any so call torque when scratching
Dj.
Looks like trash
