The PT01 Scratch is unusually narrow: Numark built it around a replaceable scratch slide switch, while the current upgrade market centres on one direct Jesse Dean contactless fader and Innofader mini systems used with a PT01-specific mounting solution. A longer list would falsely turn color variants, the same fader bundled with a different plate, or unrelated portable mixers into separate picks. These five current components are the real choices to compare; the key is whether you want the direct Jesse Dean replacement or an Innofader system with the required Reck mounting hardware.

The picks, in detail
Jesse Dean Designs JDDX2RS-A Contactless Fader
The JDDX2RS-A is the direct, current PT01 Scratch replacement with a magnetic contactless element, dual-rail slider, and no-solder installation design.
- contactless magnetic sensor circuitry
- dual-rail slider
- two-side cut-in adjustment
- full-size fader cap
- Direct replacement for the factory scratch switch
- No contact wear to clean in normal use
- Installation and calibration still need care
mini Innofader Pro PT
Innofader lists the mini Innofader Pro PT as compatible with the PT01 Scratch when it is paired with either the Reck IF-30 or FH-45 adapter hardware.
- mini Innofader Pro PT
- PT01 Scratch compatibility
- requires Reck IF-30 or FH-45
- crossfader upgrade platform
- Dedicated compatible Innofader model
- Choice of two PT01 mounting approaches
- Not a complete PT01 installation by itself
mini Innofader Plus
The mini Innofader Plus is the second current Innofader named by the maker as PT01 Scratch-compatible, again requiring a Reck IF-30 or FH-45 adapter.
- mini Innofader Plus
- PT01 Scratch compatibility
- requires separate adapter
- height adjustment guidance
- Alternative to the Pro PT within the same system
- Maker documents PT01 Scratch fitment
- Requires a 5 mm suggested height adjustment and adapter hardware
Reck IF-30
The Reck IF-30 is the required adapter-cable or mounting solution for a compatible mini Innofader in a PT01 Scratch; it is not a standalone fader.
- PT01 Scratch adapter hardware
- for mini Innofader Pro PT or Plus
- required for documented fitment
- separate purchase
- Supports the documented Innofader route
- Keeps the upgrade tied to PT01-specific hardware
- Adds cost beyond the fader itself
Reck FH-45
The Reck FH-45 is the alternate 45-degree housing for a compatible mini Innofader, fitting the PT01 Scratch transform-switch slot at an angled position.
- 45-degree mounting orientation
- PT01 Scratch transform-switch fit
- for mini Innofader Pro PT or Plus
- separate housing
- Angled fader placement for scratching
- Official Innofader compatibility route
- Housing must be paired with a compatible mini Innofader
Buying tips
- Do not treat the two Reck parts as extra fader choices: they are installation hardware for an Innofader system.
- Confirm that the turntable is the PT01 Scratch, not a similarly named PT01 model, before ordering hardware or beginning installation.
- Follow the fader maker’s current installation and calibration instructions; fitment is model-specific and the parts are not universal mixer faders.
