maczrool pooh-bah Registered: 13/01/2002 Posts: 1649 Loc: Louisiana, USA	I think we finally have some finished prototypes. The amber, blue, red, and smoke appear to be just right. The green is still a bit too yellow, so that will come later this week. Every thing fits now, as soon as we get the final price tomorrow, we'll place an order and hopefully have some to sell by the end of the week. I'll post pictures later.

maczrool pooh-bah Registered: 13/01/2002 Posts: 1649 Loc: Louisiana, USA	Here's a picture with everything but red. Blue is just like Brian's now as is amber and red. I'm not sure about smoke, but I think it's close as well. The knob diffuses a bit better than Brian's while the buttons are about the same. Green is still being tweaked. Anyway, here are the production pieces. The picture looks a little blue, and over exposed. Everything looks much better in person. Smoke is the knob. The top and right button are blue. The left button is the current green and the bottom button is amber. Enjoy! Stu Attachments 203814-multi-set.jpg (135 downloads) _________________________ If you want it to break, buy Sony!

andym carpal tunnel Registered: 17/01/2002 Posts: 3995 Loc: Manchester UK	Nice work stu! What are the backs of the buttons like? I snagged a set of brian buttons at the amersfoort meet and I find I have to be careful not to push them too hard. The buttons push the leds into the switch leaving it stuck on. I then have to remove the facia and give the led a wiggle to free it off the switch. _________________________ Cheers, Andy M

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31578 Loc: Seattle, WA	Another option is to dremel down the tops of the LEDs. There is a lot of curved plastic at the tops of the LEDs that isn't necessary. I just ground the tops off of my LEDs. Mostly for the additional diffusion, but it also helped buttons fit a touch better. _________________________ Tony Fabris

FireFox31 pooh-bah Registered: 19/09/2002 Posts: 2494 Loc: East Coast, USA	Very nice. My player is already enroute to Stu to get the glow, so I'm psyched! I wonder about the green (as I have, annoyingly, all along). Stu, could you take a pic of my player with the current green buttons on it (when you finish the light install, of course)? Then, maybe take a pic of it with the new green buttons, if you have them on hand? I ask because if the "old" greens seem to match better, I'd offer to buy the old set from you. And if the "new" greens seem better, I'd probably snatch up two sets! If I'm way overstepping my bounds with these requests / questions, I'm sorry. Just slap me (but be nice to my empeg).

mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14484 Loc: Canada	I suppose it's a bit late for this reminder, but the colour that matters, is the matching between the buttons and lens when BOTH are installed and illuminated. Not when the lens is viewed separately.. the lens colour "changes" on the player because the player does not emit white light. Cheers

The blue is the same as Brian's blue as is the red and I believe the amber as well. Stu _________________________ If you want it to break, buy Sony!

Once it's here, we still need to take pictures before we'll sell it on the site. This all takes time. But, sure you can add an IDE cable to your order. For anyone that wants to reserve a set of buttons and knobs, please e-mail "buttons.at.eutronix.com" with the model of Empeg you have and the color set you desire. We ordered 10 blue, 10 red, 5 amber, and 5 smoke. Green is still being tweaked. Stu _________________________ If you want it to break, buy Sony!

Hm, still tweaking the green, so maybe I should order a smoke while I'm waiting. But on Mark's lense/button matching comment: Which lenses are these buttons being matched to? Original empeg, Darkstorm, or Filener? Or maybe the three are all similar enough so it will just work. I won't be pickey. My dashboard, empeg, Alpine CD lights don't match perfectly, so oh well.

pgrzelak carpal tunnel Registered: 15/08/2000 Posts: 4859 Loc: New Jersey, USA	I would guess they are being matched to the original empeg lenses. But even then, you still have the cyan color of the VFD to deal with. The LEDs are white. You will almost always have a color difference between the buttons and VFD. _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs

Thanks for the plug! We are unofficially replacing encoders. We've done one and it works fine, but we'd very much like to get a hold of the OEM model Alps encoder with .5mm of travel rather than the 1.5mm we have now, but Alps seems to deem the American market suited only for the 1.5mm ones.

pgrzelak carpal tunnel Registered: 15/08/2000 Posts: 4859 Loc: New Jersey, USA	This one was my fault. I had sent sample buttons from my spare bits bin to have castings made. Unfortunately, I had sold my Mark2 long ago, so I only had one Mark2 knob to send. Because my Mark2 was an older variety, it had the old pre-fix knob on it. That's why I had a spare knob - I put the knob fix in place, and this was left over. The cast prototypes all slipped as badly or worse than the original. Stu now has a correct (fixed) Mark2 knob to make a casting from, but it caused a bit of a delay. _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs

maczrool pooh-bah Registered: 13/01/2002 Posts: 1649 Loc: Louisiana, USA	Wouldn't you know it? Something was done rather poorly in the first run of parts and now it looks like all 150 pieces will have to be redone. The finish came out chalky and easy to scratch, which is not at all like the samples. No it's not your fault that there aren't MK2 knobs Paul! The correct MK2 mold was made at the time the order was placed for the MK2A parts, but the decision was made (by me) to make only a small simple run with only MK2a parts in case a problem like this arose. We're going to raise hell with the supplier today, so hopefully this can be corrected in a timely fashion. Stu _________________________ If you want it to break, buy Sony!

Depending on price, I might want to order both blue and smoked. For now I just dremeled small holes into the original buttons like I saw done in a post a while ago. BTW, I received my LED kit quickly. The kit was a bit of a challenge but went off without a hitch. Keep up the good work _________________________ Mk2a 30GB Blue. Serial 030102999

maczrool pooh-bah Registered: 13/01/2002 Posts: 1649 Loc: Louisiana, USA	Perhaps I should have expounded a bit. We ran down the list until we ran out of the first of the colors, found out they weren't up to spec and stopped emailing for that reason. More to come.

maczrool pooh-bah Registered: 13/01/2002 Posts: 1649 Loc: Louisiana, USA	Digging through each of the 150 pieces, it seems it was not a total loss. There are 7 red sets, and a couple amber (a little on the red side for some reason) that I feel comfortable selling. We'll be going through the list again and offering these until they're gone.

rtundo addict Registered: 27/02/2001 Posts: 569 Loc: Albany, NY	and a couple amber (a little on the red side for some reason) Does that mean they are more of an orange color then? If so I'd be interested in a set.

maczrool pooh-bah Registered: 13/01/2002 Posts: 1649 Loc: Louisiana, USA	Yes, more orange. I'll see if we have any left to sell. Most sets had a piece or two I would classify as a second and we don't want to sell those. Stu _________________________ If you want it to break, buy Sony!

oliver addict Registered: 02/04/2002 Posts: 691	I received my order of buttons today, and they are pretty sweet. I took maybe 30 pictures of them. Both day and night shots too. Awesome job, I can't wait to get some more in a couple of months, hopefully some more colors _________________________ Oliver mk1 30gb: 129 \| mk2a 30gb: 040104126

Stu, if you're still "contacting interested parties via e-mail" about the buttons, I am interested in a smoke set. But, you know I'm SOOOOO interested in the green set!! Mmmmm, green. Ok, I'll stop begging and go back to checking this thread, my e-mail, and the Eutronix site every day waiting for the release of the buttons! _________________________ - FireFox31 110gig MKIIa (30+80), Eutronix lights, 32 meg stacked RAM, Filener orange gel lens, Greenlights Lit Buttons green set

speedy67 enthusiast Registered: 18/12/2000 Posts: 342 Loc: South-West-Germany	Is it only on the photos or do the red ones really come out that pink when lit? Waiting for amber and vfd-with-smoke-lens-matching cyan... Keep on goin, Stu. They're great. _________________________ cheers, Thomas new owner of the MK1 00123 MK2 12GB 090000815 (my first one) MK2a 040103735 (from 303) and ???

maczrool pooh-bah Registered: 13/01/2002 Posts: 1649 Loc: Louisiana, USA	Thanks everybody! When we can get a steady flow of these going I'll let everybody know. The red is a very deep red when lit, but like any intense light, will appear whitish when viewed directly. It is less white when set at a lower level. The canera also had some effect on the pink look too I think. Stu _________________________ If you want it to break, buy Sony!

FireFox31 pooh-bah Registered: 19/09/2002 Posts: 2494 Loc: East Coast, USA	::shudders:: Haha, here I'd been quietly telling myself three times a week: "Don't worry, Stu is just seriously stocking up on buttons before the release; hoarding enough to survive the initial blitz and still sustain for a while. Why, I bet he's got 100 sets by now. Nothing to worry about. Now, don't check the BBS for three more days and maybe he'll have released them." Haha, I know I'm causing the watched pot to not boil, but if I avoid the BBS and miss the announcement, I just know they'll be sold out by the time I find they were released. ::shudders:: See you in 3 days, and then 3 days after that, and again 3 more days, ad nauseum. _________________________ - FireFox31 110gig MKIIa (30+80), Eutronix lights, 32 meg stacked RAM, Filener orange gel lens, Greenlights Lit Buttons green set
