Soldering and reassembly were done sitting in front of my computer listening to old Dave Chappelle talkshows.

Top's a bright 2k yellow. Bottom and jogwheels' plates are a metallic blue. Painting wasn't done very well unfortunately. That's what happens when you send things to people who don't have a proper painting booth with an air filtration system. Anyway, I was all eager to bling it up so I didn't bother. Had to be really careful during the reassembly since the 2k paint was only a few hours old and I'd already screwed it up once when I peeled off the gaffing tape after cutting a bit too much and ate outside one of the arcade button's hole. Had to send it back for repainting.

Might get someone in the signage business to do me a custom overlay one day after I've finished mapping everything to my preferences and requirements. Went looking for thin acrylic pieces as a faceplate for the arcade buttons but the enthusiasm sure died pretty quickly since I don't have a car right now and was searching on foot.

ps. What you see in the left of the bottom cover's a reflection of my snakes' tank. The whole thing's blue with 9 little transparent rubber feet.

what kind of buttons are those im diggin the colors...

The Sanwa OBSF-24 arcade buttons which DJTechTools sells. For a bloody good price too. I merely swapped the buttons and housings to get dual coloured ones.

Hi guy's

I thinking of making a diy midi controller us my nano kontrol hardware. want to use arcade buttons. The question is where do I get Midi faders? are they just standard motorized faders? and would the pcb board handle larger faders current?

I'm a bit of a noob about this stuff.

cheers
