Heavily modded PS1 console project progress report (picture heavy) :)

Hi, the PlayStation logo is removed from the lid on the top of the console, Just get a Stanley blade and hook it out, its just a thin piece of plastic that can be removed.

 

Take it from the top lid:




Then you can move it somewhere else like I have done here:

 

Dude, Ty so much. Been wondering this for quite some time.

 

Oh, and I love your mods btw. How do you get the window to stay in the cut out? Is it just wedged in there? Or glued somehow?

 

Thanks Im glad you like my mods. And the window is glued in.

 

Really nice job, but no offence, the console kindof looks like a cheap knockoff called the PolyStation that you can get on ebay.
The first photos anyways.

The photo a few posts above looks very nice. I am jealous.

 

I'm glad you like the last one but have you been following the thread? The console isn't finished yet......

 

Yes I know. I like what I see though.

 

parabens!!! pelo otimo trabalho de tunning

Really like the clear lid. What did you find the best way to cut it?

 

This is an awesome mod!

 

The tools you will need:

1. Drimel tool
2. A rounded file
3. Sand paper
4. A compass

1. Remove the lid from the console.

2. Flip it over so you can see the underside of it, then there is a small circular dot of plastic in the middle, you want to get a compass and dig the needle of it directly into the center of the plastic dot, then use the pencil end of the compass to draw a circle around the lid so you now have a guide line to cut to.

3. Put a small circular cutting blade on your drimel tool and cut about 5mm away from the line on the inside of the circle all the way around until the middle section pops out.

4. Then you want to put a round sanding pad on the drimel tool and go around sanding away the unwanted plastic. You want to sand about 2mm away from the line this time but be very careful not to go over the line.

5. Then you want to go round it with the rounded end of your rounded file going directly up to the line this time.

6. Finally you want to smooth it down with some sand paper, start off using 180 grit, then go over it with 320 grit, then finish it off with 600 or 800 grit.

This is as best as I can explain it without making a tutorial video. If you didn't understand part of this or have any questions let me know and I will be happy to help.

 

Do recommend buying a new laser or just keeping the original? I plan on doing a similar mod to my SCPH 7501.

 

I am just using the original lazer as it works fine. I would only replace it if it was broken.

 

I made a video tutorial today on how to cut the lid, I will be uploading it soon then I'll post it on here.

 

Any progress on the work? :3

 

Hi haven't done any progress on the console in a while as most of the money I get now gets spent on my new car. It's a shame because I'm so close to finishing. All I need is some paint then I can finish it, I'll try to put some money back so I can get it finished!

 

just an idea for the receiver, there is enough room inside the ps1 if you want to solder it in internally, same with a memory card, but it looks nice how you have it.
