Anybody have experience replacing faders on a D-Command?

Now that we started talking about it makes me want to email Avid support.

Heck I could use my phone call for it...

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

Just checked. Mine are a different lot number but seems to be the same fader. Now, that said, i'm having a hell of a time getting that faceplate back on. Any tricks to wedging all those faders back in there??!??!

No just a little side to side motion....they slide right back in....

But it is of worthy know that there are two different types of screws, The finer threads quantity two , go in the top the courser threads quantity three go in the lower holes

Got it, thanks.
Guess I'll order one replacement and see how it goes!

Those are the older ones - CP=Conductive Plastic -
The ES where Carbon and just reads K. Fader on the side

You can re lubricate them to make them work again if your issue is a sticky or a slow driving fader. I just lubricate most of mine. There are normal and carbon faders and they work now almost like new.

First clean them with a q tip removing all the dust in them. Then you can lubricate them with a silicon lubricant only in the metal parts and guides.

So like a lock cleaner. Like graphite?

Waou!!!! I just did the whole process with a second hand d command I bought more than 1 year ago that, despite standard cleaning, had still faders problems. And now all gone ! Perfect just like new ! Many many thanks for this advice !
