DanceMania
BeatStream container has arrived. All but one DanceManiaX should have basic functionality. The white of the sides is pretty discolored, I'm going to see if some basic cleaner will help. Everything smells a bit of mildew, but there really isn't any mold or anything. The warehouse these were in were just definitely dry, climate-controlled environments. Besides the discoloration and smell, these are in condition about to what I expected. There is little of the wear you'd expect from being used for 20 years, mainly wear from sitting uncared about. Internal components look good because of this. Haven't checked any monitors, most 573s are already there so I don't need to replace any, some have Error 1 or dead RTC. Should be easy fixes or just install a multidisc. I'll be consulting with buyers to see what they want done. afaik so far they are all DanceManiaX 1stMIX, not export versions, not 2nd. They all have headers and all have kick plates.
BeatStream is going to take a lot of time. All of them are missing headphone jacks, both monitors/touchscreen, PCBs. I've sourced enough PCBs to fulfill initial orders, and there's enough extra parts for me to convert the one Nostalgia I have here back to BeatStream, but I won't be able to fulfill any orders until those touchscreens are sorted out. They are all for the most part in ok shape, bit of that mildew smell, little wear from not being cared about. I haven't dug through things to take stock of extra stuff like headers and whatnot yet, just know there's at least one or two headers and one or two side flags.
It's going to take me a while to sit down, unwrap and test things. As you can see, the upcoming container schedule is absolutely brutal, and I'm already chained by a lot of open projects. Will be doing what I can to get to all this, mainly first just to fulfill or progress existing customers. I want to say I mentioned it at the beginning as well, but reiterating now: I had no guarantee any of these would arrive off the boat ready to go, and I don't want to send out any non-working product. Discussion can be made about sending some of the stuff out AS-IS, if someone wants to work on these cabs themselves. I will re-negotiate pricing for those of you who would like that.
I think that's all I got on this container for the moment. I'll eventually reach out to all buyers and speak further, but if you happen to see this and want to get back in touch on your own, it is also welcome!
