Some recent projects...

Here's a deck I did for Mr. Aris Cebrero. Main cabinet frame and tone arm components are finished in glossy dark grey (almost black). Tonearm plate and platter are painted to bright yellow. Strobe and pop up lamp are installed with super bright white LEDs while the 33/45 selectors and pitch indicator are installed with bright yellow LEDs. Pitch control has also been replaced and removed the center bearing. This unit didn't come with a pop-up lamp assembly so I also provided it with one.

Suigeneris owner Frankie Cortez had asked me to custom his pair of beat-up SL1200 to match his set of Pioneer DJM900 platinum and CDJ-2000 platinum edition. So I had the main diecast frame cabinets chromed plated. Repainted and refaced the platters. Replaced all the LEDs to a combination of bright blue (strobe, 33/45) and bright white (pop-up lamp, pitch indicator). I also replaced the broken tonearm clips, pitch controls, aluminum pitch decal ornaments and installed new original Technics RCA cable and connector set. The tonearm base, bridge and swivel sections have been repainted to blue metallic. Rubber base cabinets were also repainted to matte black.

Here's a 30year old deck that was brought to me from Baguio City by owner Ed Nevada. He wanted to have it restored and customized. He said this deck has been with him and his late brother Arwin since the early 80s.

Like my usual works, the main diecast frame had been scraped to bare metal. Primed and painted to a shade of blue metallic that I personally mixed, then topped it with super gloss clear coat using polyurethane automotive paints. The tonearm section had also been painted to match the main body. This deck didn't come with a platter so I provided one. I also replaced the broken pitch control, tonearm clip/rest, one leg, switch knob, and aluminum pitch decal ornament. All lights have been replaced as well. Super bright white LEDs on the 33/45, pop-up lamp, and pitch indicator, while the storbe had been fitted with bright blue LEDs, RCA cables and connectors have also been replaced with heavy duty, high grade set. Tonearm and pitch control have been calibrated as well as the motor brake. Lastly, rubber base was lightly sanded and repainted to matte black.

May 2014

My good friend Ralph Roy sent me back his decks for the third time for another change color. This time, he wanted to match his decks' color to his blue Tascam X9 mixer. So the decks have been repainted to Metallic Blue using DuPont polyurethane paint. Pitch decals have also been replaced with black ones. RCA cables & connectors also replaced.

June 2014

I have serviced this pair long ago back in 2008 for minor issues. They were originally used in Alchemy Club from 2007 to 2008, Then were transferred to Excess Club in 2010 until 2013. The new owner (Derrick Yap (of J Club, Cebu) sent me these decks for a full refurbishment. So I did a total restoration on them and repainted to Metallic Black in glossy finish using DuPont polyurethane paint. I also had to mix the right color for the tonearm. The M5G's color of the tonearm is silver with a hint of yellow. All LEDs are new. Pitch control & tonearms calibrated, RCA cables & connectors replaced with heavy duty & high grade, ground wires internally modified. Buttons have also been thoroughly cleaned.

Below are the images of before & after refurbishment.
