Turntable crapping out

ZETA SHINTANi · 11-27-2007, 03:26 AM

Okay. So, a little while ago (more like a year or 2 ago) I bought my second IIDX controller so I can mod it up and turn it into an arcade controller. I've already had one of my controllers made into one long ago, and I WAS going to make this one right after, but the problem was Halfway during the process of doing it, the sensor on my turntable crapped out on me. Now instead of scratching up and down, it will only scratch in one direction.

So, I was wondering if how would you go about fixing this or... if you can't is there anywhere I can buy just the circuit board for the turntable?

what exactly are you using to activate the turntable sensor?

I'm using the turntable itself. If I spin it up then down, it will register up three times as opposed to correctly going up and down.

EDIT: Tested the sensors again. It appears that the sensor for detecting a downward scratch is... dead

Donno what I can do with that.

Yeah it seems that the sensor is broken...its very weird though because its not that delicate enough to just break all of a sudden like that. If the spacing of the turntable is the official spacing, it should work fine. Even if it wasn't exactly it may just misfire at certain positions.

Honestly Im not very sure where you can buy another sensor or circuit board but Im sure someone out there probably has a broken IIDX controller.

you can still find my thread on page 2 or 3 about this. mine did the same exact thing tried everything i could to fix it and nothing worked. mysteriously though if its 50f or lower it almost works halfway decent (dont ask lol) i gave up after a month or so of fiddling and bought a new one
