AM VCI mod (DIY?)

hey where did you find the arcade buttons, and have you modified the depth of the enclosure at all?

I ordered the fader (Just came in!), hopefully a good choice.
Arcade buttons are from;
http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/...hbuttons.shtml
and then the Seimitsu 24mm Colored Body with Clear Plunger.

I kept the original depth of the enclosure, as you can see the jogwheels are
sticking out the most.

Cheers for that, looks like a better option than the 15 USD Ea halo button I was looking at for the LFO reset on my controller

Maybe it is, but I think the build quality of your button is better.

and about the fader, It's fantastic, much better feel than the vestax'.Fits exactly to the board.
Too bad I just ordered one.

I was almost finishing the hardware side of my mod, and then it came up to me to mod the 3 efx lights/leds, and the loop buttons.
I wanted a larger light to put on some text, but now I made it work I'm
not shure about the text.
Looks great already.
Don't judge my solder connections (Everything works)
I'm not a pro!

Here the mod of the loop buttons.
There was no room on the board to drill holes to attach the buttons,
so I attached them on the housing.
Also made a cable to make it easy to disassemble the board.
Here again very nice soldering

The 'hardware' mod is now almost finished.
5 knobs are on the way, and the housing for the backside will be designed
in a couple of days.

Now I have to figure out how adobe illustrator works, so that I can design an
overlay, (with smaller and adjusted holes).

Cheers!

I missed this post before. Really nice work. I have been dreaming on modifying a vci but I don´t have the skill and knowledge.

Congratulations, your work is great!!

Pd: on my dream I had a Vci with 4 platters.... ummm
