EZ2DJ Restoration Day 1: 1/27/2012 Machine Teardown + IT'S ALIVE!

This is just a short little progress video I made on what I got done today. My goal was to tear apart the keys and turntables to I could wire everything up to to I/O board and clean the surface of the machine. I got all of that done, and at first glance I thought the cable for the headphone ports was gone, but I I just missed it while grabbing the rest of the cables for the machine on the bottom half, and connected it which ended up working.

This was all done without knowing if ANY part of the machine worked. That is because this machine runs on 220V while American outlets use only 110V. That is why later in the day I decided to run to Fry's Electronics to buy a 500W Step Down Transformer. I connected it to the machine, flipped the switch and to my surprise the machine gained full power. The monitor is showing nothing, which might be because there is nothing plugged in, or I wired the monitor's boards up incorrectly. I will look into that further tomorrow. At least I knew all speakers were plugged in and functioning after I plugged my iPhone into the machine to test the sound system.

And yes... This machine is FUCKING LOUD AS SHIT.
