Howzit Guys!!! Again. . Thanks for your responces on this post. . Truelly appreciated! I've gone one step further from the last post. . I've managed to open my existing mixer that I refered to earlier. . These above images show how the current mixer is built. . With the EQ pots on each...

Thanks again . . Checking them out now;-)

Thanks for your help Frikkie! Do you know where I can get these pots around South Africa. . A link to a website perhaps?? Just to get pricing, specs, etc! Thanks;-) :thumbs:

Lol. . I thought you would say that;-) This is one of the mixers I have at home. . Now the question is. . How difficult or easy it would be to change the faders to rotary pots? What should I consider? I saw on one of the forums online that I have to make sure that the ohms of the faders...

Maybe to simplify things to start with. . I have a broken modern mixer (linear sliders, etc) at home. . So was thinking to start modifying that to suite (replace the sliders to rotary pots, change the enclosure to a custom one, etc) as a start up project. . Then at a later stage (after I find...

lol. . Thanks for the headsup WaterHond. . I'll check out the options you've mentioned. . But for now. . I'm just concerntrating on the mixer build. . Trying to gether as much info on it as possible. . I still think its doable!!! :wallbreak:

Maybe I should just wait for this guy at www.bozure.com to sell the full DIY kits for what I'm looking for. . I really had the confidence that these units can be built here in South Africa at reasonable costs without any hassle. . Here's another link...

Gentlemen. . Thank you for your responce on this. . When I say. . "mass produce". . I still mean that this mixer would be bought by those who "understand" what Im talking about! It would defenately be for the selected few. . My main point is for those who want it more available for the South...

Lol. . Friekie. . Its not only about the rotary pots. . Ive done some research and have noticed  that one of the major things about rotary mixers is the fact that their design is simple which clears most of the "signal path" because they dont have all the bells and whistles like the modern...

Thanks for your responce @CrankShaft;-) Great plan. . But the problen with that is that I wanna do this project to cut some costs. .  So buying an established brand would cost a whole more. . And another thing. . I want to see if I can build to mass produce and sell at a later stage. . Regards;-)

Hey ChipWelder. . Thanks for the reply on the post. . I hope Ludo gets to see this post and has an interest on taking it! Time is a factor but if I have to wait to get a proper unit. . I will;-) Regards!

^^Lol. . Enjoy your party bother! Ive been reading about the valves since your my last post and am liking what I see and learn about them! The first prototype would preferably be built as "cheaply" as possible. . except the very important components that are essential to be "top notch stuff"...

First of all. . Thank you gentlemen for showing interest on my post;-) @Frikkie >"Rotary control mixer? Why bother?" I've been interested in the "ART and History" of Djying for most of my life. . Unfortunately back in the 80's when these units were first made, I was too young and it's only now...

. . These would be the SAMPLE images of what I would like to build. . I would ultimately use different enclosures, different brand name, layouts and components. . Hope this makes some sense to someone. . ;-)

Hey WaterHond! Thank you for the PROMPT responce! Greatly appreciated! As mentioned before, Im VERY new to electronics, but with the research I've done so far. . I think the guys on here are more than capable of tackling this project. . I've been going thru this site and noticed VERY similar...

Howzit EveryOne! I'm new here and hope I'm posting at the right place!? There's a personal project that I would like to start As Soon As Possible. . I'm a dj and I'm looking for someone who will be able to help me build a custom "old skool" rotary dj mixer. I have no experience on...
