My quest for an ASC

so I have been stiring around in my noodle for a while on where to get an ASC, I was going to settle for DA even though it took 3 months for my Pop'n controller to show up painted the wrong color and microswitches missing, thought about DJ Dao but long wait and EXPENSIVE. A while back someone sent a link to an ebay auction to Beatmania 3 parts, I went on ahead and ordered them thinking I would make my own ASC. I put that off to the side and decided against it. Well for some odd reason DA refuses to respond to my e-mail so I said fuck it, I will make my own controller.

I figured I would post about my (not so glorious) quest to make my own ASC. I gathered up what I have: A Beatmania III turn table, 7 Sanwa Keys, 2 buttons what were start buttons, and a shit ton of Omrons. Went to Lowes, picked up a Dremel, and supplies.

I cleaned up the buttons!

I cut plexiglass and mounted the turntbale today.

Then my Dremel's battery died right as I started the key plate

That is all I have so far, I have high hopes for this controller and I hope all this works out well

I first read the thread title as "My quest for an ASS"
Saw the author and thought the title was pretty appropriate.

Anyways

1 down, 6 to go (which will go faster now that I know how to do it ^_^)

sounds like a fun project, WELL, 2 days Dj dao finally shipped out a bunch of his controllers, the only thing he didn't ship were parts requiring sanwa buttons, like mine. So he should ship the rest in about 2 weeks.. hopefully ill get mine by summer! You should hook a brotha up with some spare parts
