CDJ-1000MK2 Opened and Jogwheel Modification (1/3)

   

In anoher thread I've posted e secrets of the CDJ-800 by showing it's inner body
Here are the same pictures but now revealing you all mysteries of the Pioneer CDJ-1000MK2 :






And now we're talking about the CDJ-1000MKII, I also tried out a mod suggested by jordy in This Forum thread.

'What if I want the metal DVJ-X1 Jog Plate on my CDJ-1000MK2 ?'

This is actually a fine idea, but a little more complex than it looks like. I can never suggest anybody to do this. First of all it is all at your own risk :

You will definitly void all waranties by opening the CDJ yourself !

The Jog Wheel is one of the most complex parts of the CDJ and exist (roughly) out of 60 parts and 27 screws, not counting the unit that gives you the 'feel' and the display. Each part must go back just as you take it out because to reach the Jog Plate you have to disassemble almost the complete Jog....

I replaced 3 part of the CDJ-1000MK2 with new ones. The Jog Plate is sticked to the Jog and I assume this will be very hard to completely remove all glue. The surface must be completely flat to stick the DVJ Jog Plate to it.

Typically a case of 'just to be sure' :D






To get access to the Touch Sensitive section most of the Jog Wheel had to be removed and dissassembled. This is a very precise job and shouldn't be done in a rush.

I've put the parts in a reasonable setup to make a neat picture, look at the difference between the original Jog Plate (bottom right) and the new one (top left). It looks simple this way, but it's a surprisingly clever principle... but all solutions seem simple, once known

After an endless session of unscrewing all parts, the Jog Wheel could be replaced. And all screws and parts can be assembled again. The final result is very , I love the metal feel of the DVJ's Jogwheel.




Just to compare, this is a picture of an original CDJ1000, it's positioned right beside the modified one to make sure both players are illuminated by the same lights.

Told ya it would rock

when the time comes (read as: when i got the money...) wich may take a while cuzz i need to pay back the synq's first (moms lend me some ) i'm sure i'm gonna mod my CDJ

**zou denk ik alleen wel met me spelers naar jou moeten komen als de tijd daar is want dit in me eentje doen lijkt me een HeeL slecht idee , als je dat zou willen tenminste (maar dat duurt nog wel ff, ben bang tegen september/oktober pas... 't leven is "nogal" duur )**

hoop dat ik in de zomer veeeeeel kan werken

You will definitly void all waranties by opening the CDJ yourself !

bedoel je hiermee als jij het doet dat dit niet het geval is?


lijkt me niet maar toch een intressant detail

Offcourse I also void the warenty. But I'm not just poking around with a screwdriver and hope for the best....

I've been to the [dutch: MTS Electronica] and one of my hobbies has always been to mess around with wires, batteries, lights and switches. At my previous job I also spend some time in their technical department and learned some tricks from the technicians there .

This also wasn't a 1-day-project. First I checked the possibilities in the service manual if it could be worth all trouble. After ordering the Jog Plate of the DVJ I noticed that it wasn't as easy as echanging 1 part. So back to the service manual and look for a solution. The only option was to replace the complete touch sensitive outer plate.

So this got to be a bigger project than I suspected in advance

 can't wait till i got the money

 LEAD you ROCK ! 
The cdj 1000 looks even more like a machine from the inside! As a fellow MTS-er you will understand that feeling

You modification also looks horny as hell ! Will there be a step by step manual from your side or do we have to pay you big time?

I think there isn't going to be a step-by-step guide on how to perform this trick, or there should come lots, and lots of request for it. For two reasons : The CDJ should only be openen by technicians because there are no user-servicable parts inside.

Offcourse I can't stop people from trying to do this, but it's not my job to support people in messing around in their equipment. Because the Jogwheel is a crucial part of the CDJ it's vital that nothing is put together in a wrong way and accidents are easily made.

If requests for this step-by-step come in large numbers I might think about it, but for now it's not planned... I don't know how popular this mod would be. If I end up perfoming one for Jordy and one for Gilles that's no probs, but if all our +1700 members would like it, it would be working overtime for me

I'll check what the components are costing today... I'll keep you updated

Yep, it's cool

U definately have a one-of-a-kind CDJ-1000
Really sweet!

Mods voor de CDJ-SL800

Eh..... niet zo dat ik uit mijn hoofd weet..... misschien moeten we nog iets speciaal verzinnen.... Andere kleur LED's onder de play/cue knoppen ?

Wat misschien wel vet koel (even opgezocht in het woordenboek voor de jeugd) is, zijn blauwe leds om de jog ring. Dus zodat de kier mooi blauw oplicht.

En wat je op de DVJ ziet, de blauwe lijn voorop waar je de cd erin schuift.

Is er niet van dat spul kant en klaar bij conrad of display of zo?

maar echt functioneel is het niet... daarom denk ik dat het zal meevallen

ik bedoel maar... ik heb een DJM909 en wil ook een Alesis AirFX... lol?

is dit serieus?
waarom zou je een (budget) effecten apparaat willen als je een DJM-909 hebt?
