try contacting Sennheiser UK as they are the UK distributor for Rane.
en-uk.sennheiser.com

other than that directly from Rane in the US or turntable lab.

Thanks for the links, but I'm not looking to replace the entire fader - the only issue is with the carriers on the earlier fader.

ahh ok .. best bet is probably directly from Rane then.

The technical support contacts are on here....

You actually would want to contact Sennheiser. They sell separate parts as we do and is the right channel to go through for such things.

I've deal with Sennheiser before for servicing. The carriers aren't listed for sale on their spares website (just the entire fader), but I'll drop them an email and see if they can help. Cheers Zach!

stay with ancient spring carriers, because they are much stronger and have a better sense of what the new

The top one.. plastic one is the 2nd version of the fader. Which is horrible both my 61 and 62 broke and they sent me the clear one which is the third generation one. Its been over a year and no problems with the clear ( last version ) they updated.

From my experience The 56 - 57 fader design has issues with the 61 - 62 models.. The cut in time is different than the clear plastic carrier. Im not sure but it seems like the magnetic design may be different. This is why the carriers where designed differently. The first generation 61 and 62 had cut in ( fader contour ) issues. It took a few months for them to get down to the problem and correct this cut in time issue. They will send you a new carrier if your still under warranty. Im a huge supporter of Rane / Serato since 2005.

Im a huge Rane / Serato nerd :)
But I will never purchase a 1st generation mixer again.

i tried using the older 56 - 57 carriers and they do not have the same cut in time.

just vc adjust the sensor Very simple, My fader with old carriers open at 1 mm or less

If u want to take chances adjusting the sensors be careful. I stay away from messing with the sensors. I set mine sensitive then took it to a gig and bam it was bleeding. I had to take it apart and fix it. Just my opinion. It was a couple minute fix but why go through that. When the mixer shouldn't need any adjustments to get the cut in sharper.

Im gonna try this to see if it helps.

you need to be very careful to do, but is extremely simple to set a cut of 1 mm no leaks, Good luc

With the 62 you can recalibrate the faders without messing with the sensors.

Sixty-One and Sixty-Two Fader Calibration
After cleaning or replacement, the sensors may get moved, affecting the contour. After any fader service, perform this procedure to re-calibrate the faders and crossfader.
1.Power off the mixer.
2. Move all faders to the center-most position.
3. Push both DECK 1 and DECK 2 CUE buttons at the same time. 4. While holding these buttons down, power on the mixer.
5. Immediately after fading up, the CUE lights will ash one time, indicating a successful calibration. If the CUE lights ash three times, the sensors may have moved too far, or the faders knobs may not have all been centered, and the faders cannot correctly calibrate.
