drop in led replacement for 1200!!!!!!!!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&category=14987

this guy has easy already soldered drop in board led replacement kits for the 1200. they have them in blue, pink and ultraviolet. there's no soldering (execpt for the pitch lock led if you want to replace that but it comes with that led) and it's only $15 for *2* decks plus shipping.

you mess with the inside of your turntable and you are throwing your warranty out the door. looks cool though.

Unless you're a honeybee, an ultraviolet LED would be useless, seeing as how humans can't see ultraviolet... On the other hand, if it's actually a purple LED, it probably looks pretty cool.

since i've been djing i've never met a single person that had to have their 1200s serviced. the warranty on a 1200 is pretty much useless as i've never seen one break. other then the popup light. that does of course not include 1200s that were royally abused or dropped, in either case the damage from that would not be covered anyway.

well then be careful when installing them.

i have an electrical engineering certification so i would have any problem actually de-soldering and install new leds on the stock boards. the cool thing about this product is that it already comes soldered onto the boards so you just unscrew and unplug the stock board and plug the new ones in. easy peasy. 15 minutes start to finish each deck no problem. not only that for the price of these boards since it's 2 pair for 2 decks for only $25 shipped you're getting them for the same price as the leds sell for themselves. a retarded monkey could install these! cheers.

I like dem blue lights... Ill probably get the kits when I am in the mood to take off the 1,000,000 screws on the bottom of the TT.

I have a 3rd TT thats an 1200:mk2, and I just swapped out the old pitch control with a m3d pitch control. The TT is all good now. I should've left it open so I can plug in these LEDS kits...(since its hella easy wit that kit).

Everytime i look at my TT's , i just wanna use em...

Thanks for the lik VIO, Ill prob pick up 3 sets....

Thanks VIO, I will definitly have to take a look at those. I love working on the internals of turntables. Technics designed them so well, it's like looking at a work of art.

UV light is useful

If you use Ortofon Concordes, as the cartridge fluoresces.

Posted by Tiger777 on Nov-08-2003 12:50:

yeah, it's certailny usefull. You can see the lightsource of a blacklight, can't you...

And yeah, it looks cool. I've seen tutorials on how to install the LED's itself, but you need soldering, and I'm quite afraid of doing that.

well you take a regular monkey and force it to listen to happy hardcore and gabber for about a month straight and feed it 3 pills a day. if that doesn't make the monkey retarded then i don't know what will!!!

Posted by seven.dj on Nov-10-2003 20:33:

VIO, I think that would make anyone retarded....

Posted by Nemesis44 on Nov-11-2003 01:30:

Well, it might not make it retarded but I believe that it might have the mother of all come downs. So Vio, are you saying a depressed monkey could do it too?

hhhhmmmmm, a depressed monkey.... not too sure. i bet he could but i don't think i would be able to motivate him to even get out of bed, seeing as how he's depressed and all.

they're only $25 shipped for both decks, why don't you grab a set? i'm going to pick up a set at the end of this month. i'll post pics after i install them. since you have to solder the pitch led in (no way around that) i'm going to remove the center click on my pitch fader as well. i'm going to have the pitch control board out anyway so i might as well. cheers.

Hi! Anyone found a good Pictured Tutorial for BlueLights on the net??

Posted by tu_face on Oct-20-2004 13:44:

give the depressed monkey a spliff, that'll sort the bugger out.. then it can carry on doing its electrical work on your decks

i want a retarded monkey electrician

Retard monkeys... they are kinda koalas lol all they do is sleep, eat and shit!

Anyway would it be as easy to change some lights on the CDJ1000mkII?

Posted by D Dubya on Oct-20-2004 18:06:

I just recently put the lights in my techs.... the strobe, pop-up, and the RPM. The RPM and strobe are the U/V blacklight LEDs and yes, they are blacklights.... The pop-up light I had done in aqua just to make it a little more colorful. I posted these pics in bedroom setup, but I am going to repost them here for a real life example of them installed and working....

Well...you could go to the extreme and piss all over your turntable

Then you could see the uv
