Mine also had some insert points soldered shut, 3 of them, #28. I didn't have a soldering iron but luckily one of my friends did. Long story short I finally got it put together and working.

I got lucky number 25. Req, I noticed you said you only received 4 screws as was my situation. Luckily the buttons hold the unit together enough for some play time. Hopefully I will get 4 screws shipped my direction as I already e-mailed djtechtools with my scenario. Other than the missing screws all I can say is great things about this unit. I got so many oohs and ahhs at the New Years party I did last night.

I had three bad insertion points and no soldering iron I mean, I have a soldering iron, somewhere, but I have no idea where it is; seriously, how often do you break out the soldering iron? I know, some of you more organized types have all your tools in one box but mine are scattered around the corners of closets and such. Anyway, I couldn't deal with going through closets full of junk to find it and it was 11 pm by the time my painting was done so I couldn't go buy one. So I used a lighter to heat up the end of an exacto knife until it was red hot, then stabbed it in the insertion point and rocked it around a little. Had to do this several times to break through the solder but it eventually worked. I don't recommend this, however; better to just get a soldering iron.... Now I just have to wait until they send me the four missing screws (or somebody posts the type of screw I need to buy)...

P.S. So are there mappings available for this thing anywhere?

[djproben]

Here it is... still missing screws for the top piece... and hoping for some cool midi mappings. I've got hotcues 1-8 on the bottom two rows; nothing on the top two yet. If you want the blow-by-blow, check it out here http://www.turntablepoetry.com/midifighter/

Awesome paintjob on that one, man. I kind of liked the clear acrylic and black look, but you may have inspired me to spice it up! And I might try your heated exacto knife trick, that's a good idea. Thanks for posting all the pics.
