  1. Finally had the time to fix a broken fader on one of the #DiGiCo #SD12 consoles at work.

    As you move the throw of the fader it pulls along a loop of toothed belt. The belt wraps around a gearwheel and solid brass pin on one end, and a plastic fitting on the armature of the motor, with a friction-fit gearwheel at the other.

    The tiny plastic gearwheel split and fell off. Rather than spend hundreds on a new fader (and wait for shipping from the uk), a miniscule drop of superglue fixed the split, and another to prevent it coming off the armature.

    Cost for fix: 1hr, $1.29 (superglue)
