I am looking for advice on rebuilding my pads. I think more needs to be done that just replacing some of the sensors.

Any help much appreciated,

Im a game tech myself and work on the DDR machine where I work al lthe time.I dont know much about the switches since I have never had to mess with them.

I can give you some advice but I cant be a whole lot of help unless I see it and play on it myself.

You can buy all new sensors and make sure that on the top of the pad that the screws are flat headed and dont stick out much...better to not stick out at all,thats what I have done to my pads(Since us ITG players are very picky about that sort of thing).Thats all I can think of without seeing the machine for myself.

Buying a REAL itg2 machine would fix everything since an upgrade can never be as good as a well maintained ITG2 Dedicated cabnit..

But,most likely thats too much.
