Some internals!
I'm using a Traktor Audio2dj as the audio interface, hooked up to the headphone jack on the front as well as the RCA master out. A Roland UM-One will be the MIDI connectivity to the computer.
The sooty looking thing is an old usb hub I decided to strip of its housing. Note to self: don't use a lighter on 40 year old shrink-wrap unless you want it to have a 'survived a domestic fire' type of look 😅

Got these nifty MIDI expansion boards from Hobbytronics years ago. Unfortunately they don't follow the MIDI hardware spec so they don't work very well.
Fortunately, since they shared the schematic, it was a pretty easy fix. ✌️😅
The lid fits really good now. Had to print a new cap for one of the channels since one was missing and I like it more than the original ones since its less chunky 😅
Considering color coding the keycaps to match the arcade buttons, anyone got an .stl for Kailh low profile? 😇
The USB C connectors are a little bit crooked, it'll take some sanding to get them snug. 😇
The mixer has some RCA connectors I'm not going to use so I designed a plug I can use for connectivity. Got these really handy USB-C connectors that fit really nicely inside the RCA connectors 🥳
First test prints to try out the layout seem pretty decent even though the printer is throwing a bit of a fit. Did Not manage to get all the measurements right though. Final version v2.4 is running right now, holding my thumbs!
Decided to try and build a custom MIDI controller from this old beauty that's seen better days.
Going for a 3 track Traktor controller with arcade buttons while trying to re-use as much as possible from the original mixer.
