Technics 1210 mk2 pitch fader fix (and instructions on its removal)

I really hate to resurrect such an old thread, but I have searched and searched and cannot find my answer. Would this modification of shorting pin 6 and 7 work on an M3D? I have compared the schematics, and the circuitry of the pitch fader is much more complicated on the M3D vs Mk2, so it is very well possible it will require a more indepth modification. I am working on a minimal SL-1200 that is totally blank on the top sans the arm, and I just want to nail down how I am going to handle the pitch fader removal.

Thanks for any input you have!

EDIT: This can be ignored, after sorting through the 27 pages of the external PSU thread, I found IanMac's comment about shorting pins 2 and 3 of IC201.
