Welcome Roy, I miss the good old vinyl. Although heavy (you should see our CD cases - lol) Vinyl was easy to stand up and a lot easier to search through. I could flick through around 50 records in about 30 seconds. Knowing your deck spinup speed. O the old times come flooding back. One of our first desks was two BSR record players stuck together. I neally wet myself when my mate try to cue the record up with the old BSR decks as you could'nt spin the record back with the play switch on. The secret was to switch the deck to stop tring not to make the record jump.

Yes thats right MK1 in perfect working order apart when their damp after a steamy party - (you know the ones where the walls are dripping) As this is a hobby, the Industry standard of CDJ1000 are out of the question. However the Pioneer MCX 3000 is. Has anyone used this unit and is it any good for mobile work?

Hiya Charlie - Good luck in your new venture. My advice - get some cards printed. Always end with a really good tune (fast tempo) without a fade ending and watch them come up to you at the end and thank you - get the cards out tell them to tell their friends. Its amazing what word of mouth can do. (remember people with drink only really rememebr the last hour of the party) Jon http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/thumbup.gif
