To restore the electric break function on the Eclectic Breaks Pro X Fade analogue crossfader, follow these steps:

1. Adjust Torque Setting: Use the provided tool to adjust the torque setting on the front of the fader. Turn it counterclockwise to loosen the fader as needed.

2. Use Proper Faceplate: If the supplied faceplate does not align with the screw holes of your mixer, use the original faceplate from the original fader for reinstallation.

3. Connect Wires Properly: Only connect the channel one connectors to the three-pronged wire for the crossfader connection. The channel two connectors are not needed.

4. Adjust Dead Space: Check for dead space by moving the crossfader and observing when sound comes on. Adjust the screw lever to eliminate dead space, ensuring that sound activates with minimal fader movement.

These steps will restore proper functionality to the crossfader.
