Hey you guys. It's great to see this forum topic still alive and well, I have had a quick flip through and will do so in greater detail when I get the time. However, I am just inquiring quickly to see if there are any knowledge and expertise around that can help with my mod ideas. I finally copped an Ion iPT USB (Numark PT01, as you all know) and have a JDDX2R fader. What I wish to do is install auxiliary input so I wouldn't have to use an external speaker with my setup and my fader output could be routed into the turntable aux input to finish the chain and I can cut on the stock inbuilt speaker. Would this theory be possible at all? I have quickly skimmed some posts at the beginning of this forum and have seen something from Rasteri regarding the removal of the C8/C18 areas of the board, but unfortunately I cannot read or understand circuit diagrams too brilliantly as I may as well be a complete beginner at this lark and just an enthusiast who hopes and prays he doesn't royally cock anything up in the process. In doing this mod I was hoping I could also run a DVS setup on a smartphone and tablet also, in theory I guess it should work, please tell me different if it will not. Please see link for explanation of setup - - I am unsure whether I would require something like a headphone splitter for the input to share the headphone output from the tablet as well as turntable itself into the fader input. I hope this makes sense to you all, I do apologise that I can be crap at explaining things at the best of times. Haha! I am also desperately need the start/stop button. I have researched either the latching (easier) mod, or the arcade mod (slightly more time consuming and more chance of hashing up the turntable casing with a drill bit for the large button. Haha!) and will get on to that as soon as I can. However, I do wish to have the MP3 Decoder board installed and have copped one similar to what the Scratch Toys chap had originally and have followed his youtube videos. As far as I'm aware it seems a fairly straightforward installation on the PT01 Scratch Model via linking the decoder board via three different cable sets across some boards inside the turntable to daisychain it together to get it to work. One of those boards looks like the scratch switch. My question is how would you go about fitting a decoder board for an OG PT01 USB? I love the whole portablism scene as its a very cost effective way of getting into turntablism. Money isn't always on my side at the best of times and I have been copping components cheaply from eBay via China and waiting four weeks for them to show up. I can justify the wait considering I am getting bits for next to nothing. I will hopefully cop a 12V latching relay board for about £1.80 and an arcade button for about £5. Which is 75% cheaper than some of the ready made mod kits you have floating around the internet. Failing that a latching switch is about £1.50 from the UK. My decoder board cost around £1.80 also. Huzzah for cheap electronics! Haha! But yes, if anyone has any knowledge in wiring things up I would be greatly appreciative thank you. I copped a couple PWM motor switches and step up boards which I no longer need, if anyone has any use for them hit me up so I can move them on to a worthy home in someones turntable. I reside in the UK. One final discussion is this video - - I have seen which uses Rasteri photos of the C8 & C18 capacitor area of the board to install a JDDX2R internally, one would presume that the white snap cables removed from board to complete the mod are then put together again in order for the turntable to work? (I hope that makes sense) I have been pondering this mod alongside a straight tonearm with the pin removed so it moves a full 90 degrees if my aux input mod idea doesn't go according to plan, if there are any further steps required other than this video for the internal fader mod if anyone could let me know please that would be great. Many thanks once again.
