Its to bad the original website does not have a data sheet for the part, so i am not sure what type of shaft it had (i.e flattened D or serrated etc). From the picture it looks like its flat and plain so I will probably have to file down a side to make it into a flattened D so i can put the Dj tech tools knobs on them with out them slipping everywhere.

I though instead of buttons it would be cool to control filter on and off and PFL on and off with switches like these to give it a kind of home brew look. I would have a dedicated filter section on the top, for each channel, then the eqs then switches for PFL then the faders. And at the bottom to top it all off 5 arcade buttons just for fun. And on the side i will have 3 Knobs for master volume PFL volume and mix/PFL along with a few switches for shift functions. I decided not to put a cross faded because I never used one when I had an analog 4 channel mixer. Also was going to put on encoders for the gains but since this is going to sit in between my xone 1d and 2d I figured i would just use the encoders on them.

I hope to keep my progress posted and hopefully it this will prove helpful for others trying to do the same thing.
