Disco doctor 0 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hi Newbie here, so a little about myself. Worked in north London in 1978 for Van Der Molem hi-fi manufacturer as a tester / trouble shooter, then in 1979 for Disco Supplies, manufacturing the old Glitter systems, cabinet making, electronics etc, Years later started my own shop (back street) in South East Kent 1986 built all my own speakers, light boxes and consoles (twin decks), survived 3 years there then worked from home for the next 10 looking after the local DJ´s gear also as a wedding DJ myself. Started a new shop on a high street near Margate in 2000 ran that for 3 years, decided DJ´s telling me thay could buy gear cheaper on the internet was the writing on the wall for the shop. Also the UK pat testing and Health and safety rules and regs started to get silly. I was no longer qualified to put a plug on a wire. So I moved to Tenerife where I have installed lighting for Linekers, Bobbys, Busbys, Rags, Pleasure Island etc. Still here and now working as LD for a Pink Floyd / Queen Tribute band due to open doors in July 2009 Oh and thinking of DJing again after the shows.

TonyB 0 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hi :welcome: Van Der Molem is a name from the past I remember. Had a record player made by them which I bought through a catalogue my neigbour was running. Garrard deck and 15w a channel if I remember rightly. In a way it started of my DJ'ing as I used to take it to house parties. Link to post Share on other sites

BigBen 0 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Too young to remember the 70's :ads: ...just! Know some of the places you refer to in Tenerife though. Parents lived there for a while in the 90's so I know some of the bars. Welcome to the forum! With your experience and knowledge I'm sure you'll bring a lot of help to us all.
