4:53 worked wonders for our LX cab, already tried a few modding guides before this and the result while better than stock, it's still not optimal for bracketing. Having tape on the L bracket immediately makes the pads THAT much better to play on, thank you!
First time I'm hearing some of these ideas, like putting tape on the sides of the L-bracket! Very interesting!
Take notes: Arcade machine techs about fixing a Dance game’s pads
additional note: new gray sensors are thinner than old ones, but rubber holder is still the same in LX cabs. That causes pressure to be applied to rubber holder instead of sensor (basically all stock LX pads is trash without modding). So workaround is to place a strip of 2mm rubber between holder and sensor to raise sensor above holder.
Loves your video and guides. I do have cx cabinet at home too. May be your guides can fix my problems
absolutely fantastic guide, will be getting a cab in about two weeks or so, incredibly excited to get to work on it!
your stage looks absolutely fantastic btw. did you buy the cab brand new or is it simply the result of very thorough cleaning?
Got it used. A friend found two of them being sold off from a YMCA that closed down, so I fixed both of them up. They were in pretty bad shape. There was a thick layer of dirt and acorns inside the pads, so who knows where they were stored. The cab insides were incredibly dusty and preventing the cooling fan from working, so sometimes it wouldn't even boot. There were missing screws, which I replaced. I used a rust remover compound to clean up some bolts and the metal pads. I know I could keep making small improvements like repainting the bars, but there is the law of deminishing returns, so I'm happy with the current state of things. Visitors often comment on how nice it looks.
Good luck with your new purchase! I had a lot of fun trying to figure out how to fix all the little things here and there, and I'm sure you will too. It's very rewarding.
