Modding vci-100: the cheap way
Modding vci-100: the cheap way Posted on: 04.06.2010 by Hang Postman Alright so, i plan on doing my arcade mod on my vci-100, and i am such a cheap person, ( i bought my vci and audio 4 used) I am also going to buy the same arcade buttons ofr $1.50 each instead of off this site, -sorry djtt. Alright, so now i have a question. Clearly im not going to a machine shop so; what size holes do i need to cut into my vci-100, and what tool would i use? I own many off them, (like a soldering iron.)Thanks, Glen | |

| Klara Neiffer 07.06.2010 | I have made my vestax SE with : - a drill 5 mm with a dremel - a metal file Pic your faceplate, make some holes with your little drill, and finish properly with a metal file. It's quite enough long, but it works |
| Leeanna Ayla 04.06.2010 | A small drill bit with lots of drilling along the inside edge of the circles you've traced out on the faceplate. Then you cut between each drilled hole. Then you file it smooth. Then you put your buttons in. If your not using a drill press your drill bit will walk and scratch the hell out of your face plate. You can get bits that help with preventing that or you can set the hole with a small punch or nail if you don't have any punches. A Dremel would be useful and c-camps to hold it down. Be careful, you can always take more off, but it's hard to add metal after you've taken to much off. |

| Hang Postman 04.06.2010 | well figures out the mounting hole is 24mm.... im an idiot. But what would be the best way for me to cut this? |
