Technics Arcade Case + Xponent Case Project

[extraclassic]

So do you have a dedicated slot for your A4/8DJ in behind the Xponent? (And I saw the Traktor vinyl after I posted )

Looking forward to more.

I wanted to but at the same time i wanted the Xponent case to be the same size as the deck cases.

Only time will tell if i made the right or wrong decision.

where are you getting the new knobs for the xponent? i've got an xsession pro and would like some better feeling knobs.

The knobs that i got wont fit staight on to the Xponent. The original knobs are recessed into the casing and the shaft doesn't stick out enough to do a straight swap also the shafts on the Xponent are D shaped and the ones i got are round.

Ive got to drill the recess deeper and then make the knobs fit :eek:

you could try putting some small washers on the rotaries underneath the plastic knob caps to bring them up a little higher and not touch the casing.

Food for thought and it would save you time modding the case.

Update.

Gave the deck cases 4 coats of Tuff Cab Paint and fitted the foam.
Still got a little more work to do on the Xponent case.



I'm very pleased with how the paint went on. It's got a textured kind of finish and i get the feeling it will live up to it's name.

Heres a few photos of the components being used to build this project.

When i ordered the gamepads off flea bay i thought i was getting 2 seperate gamepads but when they arrived i noticed they were linked together.

I figure this is a good thing as i will only use 1 usb slot on the laptop.



Heres the rest of the components.



And the arcade buttons.



Gonna start putting it all together later today.

A few more pictures.

Everythings wired and working just need to get some flightcase hardware (angle,corners,handles and catches etc.)



Ended up spraying the Xponent and replacing knobs - still got to get some fader caps





Built a laptop stand for the Xponent case plus fitted both power supplys into back of case



Laptop fits in the case too











Just making a few mappings in traktor now

Incredible work. Hurry up and finish so you can take my order for the cases I need. Good form, really well thought out.
