Awesom job, I'm really impressed with your patience and reuse of the resources available. Keep on pushing through!

Thanks all for feedback so far.
Finally I got the design finished in .dxf
I mailed 8 metalshops for production and prices for the metal housing.
So let's wait...

Yesterday (very exited) I picked up the housing from the metal shop.
Started asap to put all parts together, to see if everything came in place,
as I tested before.
I tapped the holes for M3 standoffs and screws.
the 2 plates I put together (for potentiometers) and so far everything fitted well.
The holes for the new placed cue buttons I had to make a little bit wider, and
I made a design fault with the joggwheels holes.(I overlooked this in the cartboard design).I drilled 4 new holes for the left joggwheels, because they
where 5mm lower than on the right side.
I still need to do a lot of work;
soldering the arcade buttons,
find a way to lighten them up (It can be done,but it's not an easy way).
And need still some parts;
-5 Black knobs Vestax.
-A good volumeslider (now I have the crossfader for deck 3 as on the picture)
Is someone familiar with this linear slider from bourns?

What I really like about your mod is that it is really well thought out. I just started my own arcade button mod and followed Ean's footsteps in the cutting and splicing of wires. But I thought it was simplistic genius when I saw that you kept the orignal button board and just soldered the arcade buttons to the board itself instead of snipping the wires. It saves the existing LEDs for future use and removes the need for buying extra diodes. However, I'm not sure if the button circuit board can coexist with the arcade buttons inside if you don't enlarge the case like how you did. Either way, I'm really impressed!!!
