Finally, an affordable CD Transport: the Shigaclone story

[horst]

That's the one, although I believe Shigaraki uses the 15pin version.

Thanks a lot for the info and the heads-up !
I'll check the player to see which version it is .

 

[horst]

You were correct, the Shigaraki seems to use the 15 pin version , see attached image .

Available from the same UK seller here .

Thanks again .

Hi friends!
So I got Shigaclon.
Bought for $ 7 JVC RC-X260 with transport SONY KSS-213S are actually one to one that SANYO S101-n 16 pin. Yet removes superfluous for normal switching power on and remove the extra boards and connectors.

Sorry to say, but JVC RC-X260 have absolutely nothing to do with Shigaclone.

After a long time idle with this project I want to finish my Shigaclone I.
In the package once sent by Tibi loose contact pins for the connectors were missing. Since the connectors seem to be RM2 not RM2.54, I would like to have any infos about what connectors have been used and where I can get those.

Lohk,

Shiga MKI page is still available. vicol audio : shiga CD transport
There is BOM as well. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19XvCmUgBZ1pNdmJjldrKittuQcFWaSapwXjPKsislAo/edit#gid=0

[lohk]

Thank you. I'll try to get some.

Since there is a MkII for a while, I am sure there are some pages or links for optimizing the MkI board. Can you give me some hints?

 

[iTiberius]

You are welcome !

On same page at bottom is a document for MKI detailed construction and few mods that can be implemented.

High-end parts are described here.
Same SFP-101N-16P mods can be applied too. These are described here.

Regards,
Tibi

OK.
no problem

Maybe you should check why Shigaclone exists.....just my 2 cents.

Nothing out there like it.

 

[lohk]

Ah, thank you! That is the info I was looking for!

Nice effort but you should be using a Shiga mkII

 

[uncle_leon]

C'mon apoopo, no need to rain on his parade like that

@amatti73 - Great job with the mounting hardware! Also try mounting the mechanism to the metal plate with just two bolts, rather than four. This will be an improvement sound-wise, and that is also how the original Shigaraki was mounted.
Another tweak I recommend is to get rid of the black plastic cover - it just sounds better without it

I have a JVC RC-EZ31 I never built if anyone is interested.

 

[jugi63]

Got the second version of my DIY Shigaclone ready...
I quite like the outcome.
A friend helped make the leather transformer cover.
