Anybody have experience replacing faders on a D-Command?
 

I've got a couple of faders showing signs of imminent demise. I see there's a fader available as a replacement for about $90-100 online. Has anybody tried replacing individual faders on the D-Command? Is it tough? Any tips?
Appreciate any advice!

It's easy, although I have not needed to do it myself on mine

Are these the newer carbon faders?

Who's the dealer?

I'd imagine they're the older faders since it's the orig D-Command, not the ES. Although I don't know what revisions the D-Command saw in terms of faders. Looks like a few allen screws holding the fader plate down and then a couple more holding the fader to the plate. That said, I haven't even ventured to taking off the plate and peaking inside yet.

They are easy to replace. Even though it's the original, I don't think they make the original faders anymore. I thought they were all the new carbon faders

this the part that comes up first on google. not sure if it's the old or new fader. Maybe you can tell? http://www.fullcompass.com/prod/2726...-9750-60127-00

I think those are the new ones....

Hmmm. I remember years ago reading that maybe there was an issue with mixing the old ones with the new ones? Any idea if that's an issue? That is, should I be looking at replacing all 8 with the new model (~$800?)

Well now that I looked at mine those might be the old ones.

I have to look through my email because I got a quote from one of the vendors for eight new ones, I want to say it was like 600 something dollars. But That was a while back

thanks -- guess I really should check the part number of what's in there first. Seems easy enough from your photo!

Yeah it's those 5 hex bolts on the fader section.

Really quick
