Technics Ultrapitch

Recently there have been a number of efforts to obtain ultrapitch, i.e. increased pitch range, on the Technics 1200/1210.

Crystal mods

Backtrack was perhaps the first to achieve Ultrapitch on a Technics, as discussed on this forum post. The approach he used was to replace the master timing crystal (X201).

This gives the following ranges -

• 4.9167...MHz - +8% to 28%
• 4.1932...MHz (original) - -8% to +8%
• 3.5795...MHz - -21% to -3%
• 3.2768...MHz - -10% to -30%
