for a start it's numark,not the best of makes for reliability.
try putting in a little less pressure on the crossfader when moving it,it's the friction that's wearing it out.

its something you have to put up with numark mixers, there faders just arent designed for lots of cycles.
next mixer you get make sure it has @ least VCA (voltage controlled amplifier) faders.
or go all out and get a rane that has those ever so sweet magnetic faders. id stay away from focus faders 1. on the version one you cant have a curve control with it, and 2. i find them way too loose (could be my style tho)
i remember playing with on @ a house party once and would tap it ever so light in a scratch and it would fly all the way over to the other side of the fader cutting of the rekid i was playing. it gave the set lets say an 'interesting effect' - i didnt do any more scratching that set :P. oh case you didnt know the focus faders are the optical ones ;)

Numark gear isn't the best
Your either puttin 2much pressure on it or just workin it 2hard
Go easy on it & see if it copes any better
How good is your scratchin??????

lol most vestax mixers are MORE plain than technics ones...take the 06 and 05 pro for example, pov little outputs and only 2ban EQ :P
technics mixers are dope, they have tops faders, some of the best ive used, other good ones are the rane magnetic bizoiches and P&G faders that you will find on tones of high end mixers these days.
good scratch mixers you coudl look out for: Rane TTM-56 (pricy, but the best) Vestax PMC-07 pro (costly, but some say its worth it for the eq faders) Vestax 06 and 05 pro (both the same mixer, but one is tall and skinny and the other wide and fat, good entry level scratch mixer, only bad thing - 2band eq) Ecler Hak 360 (king mixer, nuff said) Ecler Hak 310 (basically the same quality as the 360 but with less features and of course cheaper, that is prolly what id get and will get when buying a scratch mixer :) and then the Technics SH DJ 1200 (clean, simple and good, prolly cheaper too depending on where you live)
thats my idea on the matter, some may differ, but if you like scratching it think its vital to have a mixer that is up to the task
like hixxy is playing in my town tomorrow night and i was shocked to find that the mixer there using will be a djm500, i mean what the ****, it dosent have cuvre control!!!! if hixxy wants to do any scratching he will either have to battle with the wide curve of it and sound pov or be limited by the upfaders. not happy :( cos he prolly jsut wont do any scratching

kk, my response was to mouse who said "technics are too plain for my liking. get any vestax mixer" all i was pointing out was that the vestax 05 and 06 pro have less features (are more plain) than the technics SH DJ 1200
i prolly didnt word it right in ma first post about it :) in the long run tho it dosen matter, vestax do make dope mixers - there aint no disputing that =)
