After sending replacement locking arms and goign through several troubleshooting steps, they wound up replacing the frames entirely. The new ones worked right off the bat.
Thanks for the video. I have two p90s but both are bridge. One has 11k and the other 8k output. If I do this to the 8k one, will I turn it into a neck pickup and will the hum in the middle position be cancelled?
Man am I ever late to this party. Maybe insomnia is not such a bad thing. Browsing all night can introduce a person to iconic talent that a few minutes earlier didn't exist. So young and such a great talent can't wait to watch a more recent Vid.
Never did figure out which connector it was. Wound up having to order the harness from Pioneer. Those damned things are stupid expensive for three lengths of wire and a connector...$100 or so. Crazy.
A bit of narration or even the minimalist explanation would improve your video 70%. When considering the entire video, I believe you may be a big part of this great fake food conspiracy, trying to further confuse the masses. We're on to you.😄 kidding, speaking to people gets your point across much clearer than mind reading.
Just a tip, if your P90 doesn't come with a braided ground coil like the one in the video and is just a single wire, you can swap the wires on the pickup selector/potentiometer instead of the pickup. This way, you don't risk damaging the coil from heat.
To reverse polarity, you either have to reverse the magnet OR flip the wire, but not both... If you reverse the magnet AND flip the wire, you are just turning it back it what it once was.... It is like drive on the opposite direction, you either turn the car 180° around OR put the car in reverse... If you turn the car around AND then drive it in reverse, you will end up going the same direction as before....
Semi-correct, but keep in mind there are two types of phasing. Magnetic, and electric. Assuming you have two P90's which are South magnetic polarity, CCW wound coils (as is vintage standard), flipping only the magnets in one will put it out of phase with the other pickup, as would swapping only the leads. But doing both will cause it to be hum-canceling in the middle position, since the coil is now technically "reverse wound" as well as the magnets being flipped.
Thank you for your help! I have a further question: what could be the cause of the magnets simply not wanting to budge? I'm trying to flip (turn) them but they just won't move.
If the pickup is wax potted, the magnet may be being held in place by wax, and difficult to remove. As some point, I intend on filing another video that isn't so obscured by my hands.
@@WolfetonePickups Thanks for your mesasge! Damn, that's unfortunate. Can a separator knife help in this instance? I would really like to reverse that polarity because the neck P90 on my guitar doesn't combine well with my Filtertron and I'm pretty sure it's a polarity (out of phase) issue.
@@WolfetonePickups Thanks again for your tip, it worked! I have now flipped the magnets. My question is now related to switching the wires around - would that be considered too dangerous if the ground and lead wire go 'into' or near the area where the pickup wire is located? (this 'area' is shielded off by black cloth/synthetic material and the connections themselves can't be seen becaues of this).
I wish they were cheaper and more available. I picked up a 924 for $800 but it is super beat up. kinda feels like it's not worth it to replace the dash.
@@WolfetonePickups sorry, 2500 for the install is a bad joke. I need one hour to get the old dash out of the car, and 3 to 5 hours to install the new dashboard...
@@sebastianwindisch7952 Oh, I don't dispute that it was on the high side. However, with my schedule, it would take me months to complete. Speedometer calibration, and all dash lights were replaced at the same time, as well as a complete underdash harness inspection for cracked and peeling insulation. They took great care not to tear up the A-pillar coverings as well. The procedure took nine hours overall, and only one shop would touch it.
I used my new QJ for the first time yesterday and it's acting like yours. I have to manually play with the arm cam to get the arm in the first safety stop when descending, otherwise the cam will cause it to override the stop or the cam will catch the stop instead of the arm catching it, which is dangerous. Any solutions found?
Call support and tell them, ASAP. By any chance did you get here via the Pelican post? If so, you know my name...tell QJ support you have exactly the same issue as me. If not, do a Facebook search for the YT username, you'll find me easily. Send a message if you'd like. QJ finally agreed to replace both frames, they shipped today. Been having multiple issues since November.
@@WolfetonePickups Thanks for replying and your suggestions. I came upon your video thru a RU-vid search for QuickJack. I messed with mine this morning and I believe my problem is a cam on just one of the jacks. They seem to work fine now when lowering the jack to catch the first safety stop. However, when raised off that stop then begin lowering to the ground, one cam slightly "jumps" when it contacts the stop and this sometimes causes it to flip up instead of down, so the arm then catches the stop instead of the cam making the arm pass over it. If keep lowering the car with one jack still in its stop, will be tragic and I was lucky I caught it in time on my very first use. I think the problem must be that the contour of that one cam isn't just right. Should rotate smoothly when contacting the stop, not jump. A little grease did nothing. The other jack seems to work without issue, and both arms appear to have same amount of play. I will contact QJ and see if I can get a replacement arm assembly.
Follow up, I did a complaint ticket with QuickJack and all I got was their advice to always check and reposition the cams, if necessary, before bringing a vehicle to the ground. This is because you can't trust the cams to automatically be in the proper down position when starting the descent. I then suggested a need for a revision to the Manual to make that clear.
@@WolfetonePickups Really hope that takes care of things for you. I may trying switching the arm/cam assembly between the 2 jacks to isolate whether it's still a cam OR lock block problem. Good thing there is a warranty.
That arm is a replacement for the original arm, which did the same thing. I believe the frame is tweaked. Have had nothing but problems since Day 1. Gouged cam bound up on the other frame, wonky arm on this one, hydraulic fittings...
@@WolfetonePickups Yup, same, my fittings from the long hose to the pump / valve block are very difficult to fit in, and took all my strength (plus application of hydraulic fluid) for a few minutes. The short hose to long hose fittings take normal effort.
@@yueibm Ihad a similar issue with fittings. It seems there are two manufacturers of fittings, and they are NOT compatible. One is from a company called SABE. Impossible to fit into other fittings.
Call the dealerships. Gaudin, Marin, Suncoast, or Sunset in the USA seem to have the best prices. They are now available. Part number 477-857-881-E-1DB. Black only, for now. Porsche made 38, not sure if more will become available.
@@ThomasJoseph315 List price is about $1600. Check sites like Sunset, Suncoast, Gaudin, Porsche Marin for prices closer to $1200. Ask your local dealership if they'll price match. One of mine did.
Hi, I'm not sure how to directly message you. Where did your get your machine from? I am looking for documentation for an old model IWT and am struggling to get in contact with anyone
I've had similar issues. What is your IWT model? IWT went out of business, then were purchased by another company, but they are not very good at communication. I've been trying to purchase some wire spool holders for a while now... there is a guy who used to work for them, you can find him at rawitec.com/ - he's been very helpful to me. I can be contacted directly at www.wolfetone.com
Ugh...sorry...tried to be objective here...but being one of the biggest Zeppelin fans on the planet...ummm no!!! The guitar playing hurt my ears...definately not note for note...sorry guys...good try...but ummm no!!
