Upgraded turntable on IIDX arcade machines

Solefald · 10-05-2008, 07:04 PM

I remember reading that for either DJ Troopers or Empress, a new turntable was designed due to fan requests. It has a new grippier surface, smaller teeth, and moves a lot quicker. I also know that there was one released around 9th or 10th Style that at least has a grippy surface and smaller teeth.

I also remember reading somewhere, either here or the VJA forums, that someone ordered one to replace their turntable. Since I don't have an arcade machine myself, I didn't pay much attention to the thread. Now I need one (two) for an arcade machine.

Does anyone know where an upgraded turntable can be ordered? If all else fails I guess I can ask DJ Dao.

You must've referring to the one in Empress (since there was apparently a "silent announcement" that a newly-improved turntable would be released once Empress starts its first-ever official release starting end of 2008)

Granted, I ask this same question myself a few months ago.

Well, from what we know atm, it is stated that ALL brand new machines of Empress (you know the ones that are from Konami Japan and cost AT LEAST 2 MILLION JAPANESE YEN) will already incorporate this newly-improved turntable...

Now as to whether they'd release JUST an upgrade of this, well I dunno.

I can't see why they it would be otherwise (since it's just a few modifications anyway).

Anyway, we'll probably know all about this when it comes out starting year end.

Wow, thanks - that must have been the announcement I read.

But there was also one released for 9th or 10th Style - how can I get this?

They did release a TT module back then?

Well, I never heard of that (even here in the forums when BM was still 6.0 back in year 2004).

So I guess I'm not in the know regarding that one

Sorry dude
