I was believeing of pulling the remaining buttons and parts from the DM2 casing, and putting it in a custom metal or plastic case. Anyone know where I can purchase buttons for this?

hey trial i got an sl-d2 i'd be willing to part with for real cheap (+ shipping) if you wanted to make this a 2 deck mod.

you could link the wires together with the white break away and create a custom "mixer" to house the crossfader and the rest of it. pm if you're interested.

Like i said, arcade buttons are your best bet, unsolder the existing buttons off the circuit board and replace the connections with wires that run to the arcade buttons that you can build into your new case.

Great mod, i look forward to hearing more on your progress
Keep up the good work, i have been believeing of different ways to do this myself.
I was believeing a high resolution laser gaming mouse with a ton of buttons would make a really sensitive controller, unsolder the buttons and replace them for arcade buttons would also give it a ton of midi controls.

Photos are fine size for me!

Anyway that is a very interesting mod. I am looking forward to seeing what the finished product is like!

Keep on working on it

Now. You know how the DM2 works, now I have to figure out how to mount it to the turntable. This is the turntable:



Without the platter:



Under the spindle there's a little gear, not sure if you can see it well in this picture.



The original idea was to mount the DM2 parts to that gear, but there isn't enough room:


So I took it apart.




There is a metal piece holding the spindle, and I removed that. What I have to do now is get the DM2 part to fit up against the spindle, so the gears interlock. It doesn't fit, so it looks like I'll have to cut into the metal piece. Once that's done, I'll solder on wire to make it longer, and then we're done.

What do you believe?


Hm. It seem as the community does not auto-re size photos. What resolution should I put them in?
