sp restoration/customization...
I just copped a fuked up broken and ugly 1200 last week. Fixed the ps, installed new floppy, put in a new backlight and painted it silver, just got done yesterday. Still gotta work on the internals cause it does weird shit after about an hour of use. Metronome bleed and weird distortion but I'll get to that soon... For now I'm still rockin the 12 Turbo. here's some pics:
before:
and it actually looked worse, I pulled off some stickers and tape before i snapped this
after:
metallic silver w/black lettering

rhythmonster do you have any other pics in between those two ones chronologically speaking? _________________ E-mu Emulator Sampler Series Forum

You can just use the metronome output on it and hook that to you mixer too. When you plug a cable (or just a plug) in the metro out, it disappears from the main mix and everything else just like all of the 1-8 outs.
Good job!

The decals should hold up cause i hit them with clear coat but I have to recommend if anybody is gonna use decals like this weather it's for lettering a beat machine or whatever use the laser printer. I used it before for a 60 and it came out dam nice. The laser paper is ready to go right after you print, this inkjet shit has you clear coat the ink on after printing. It's not as nice as it could be... At some point I might redo it but no time soon.
