Dual Turntables

[Desties]

Hello!

Having noticed that the prices have dropped considerably for a stand-alone turntable, I started thinking about my dual turntable mod. I figured that because the controller can already be affixed either for a righty or lefty, I was thinking with just a few re-wiring it would be possible to make one table for the green button and one for the blue.

Just wondering if anyone has tried this? Im going to grab a new table tomorrow from BestBuy. First I will try just plugging in the controller to the other side of the mixer board. If the mixer can recognize signals from both sides at once, that would be pretty sweet. Otherwise Ill have to break out the soldering iron.


Thanks for any info!

Hi Desties

We like your style!

While we are not aware of anyone trying that yet we wish you all the best with it and will be happy to help iron out any technical issues you may have - keep us posted and lets see how this goes!

so far... not so good.

Hooking up an additional turntable to the mixer was a no-go. So much for simple solutions. After a complete disassemble of both turntables and the mixer, I thought about just splicing both tables wires together and use one connector to the mixer. This worked, but you had to hit the same buttons on both tables at the same time for a signal to register with the mixer.

Then I thought if I disco one of the pcboards from one table and wire lets say the green button only and then run a wire to the other table and disco the green button on that side and splice that wire to the wire from the other table. Then I would have the green button working only on one side. But, then how would you register the scratching from the disco'd board (assuming all other wires from the 'green' board were also disco'd)

My question is this: Has anyone mapped out the wiring to figure out which wire does what. There is a red, yellow, green, white, black, and blue.

The black is ground
The white and blue control the sensor that detects which side of the mixer the turntable is on.

If I knew what the red, yellow and green controlled that might help.


Thanks for any help!
