k..we pretty much all have decks, right? So how r they set up? like table wise I mean, Im gonna build my own(like im gonna pay $400 for a god damn table) so I need dimensions, actually not so much dimensions, but how high should it be. Length and width I can measure to be a few inches more than the 1200s n pmc 170A, but HOW HIGH.

What else m I gonna want...vinyl slot dealy thing(to store all records while not in use) anything else?

to make it easy.
make the table super wide, put crates on the ends to hold records.
and as for height, how tall are you? and how high do you want your tables. i am fairly tall and use a standard desk and after a few hours of mixing my back hurts cuz im always bending over the table to play with teh records/mixer. i personally would make it nice and tall. but too tall would be bad as well. i'd say to have your tables start around your waste and end around ur belly button would be nice. for me atleast.

k..thats what I was thinking. As for what I mean..hmm

Boxes A and B would be on an angle for easy access to records, each w/ a small light to them. So that I can see in the dark. Cuz yeah, my back starts to hurt after bending over to kitchen table height where they are now. I might even put a support in between A and B to hold an Amp should I ever decide to buy one. In the meantime...it can hold my drinks!

hey..if u live in Calgary and want me to build you one too..I wouldnt charge much on top of wood...say $50 or so.

Ignore all ==== I couldnt get it to space out right.

my friend just came up with an idea...what if the mixer and tables were sunken INTO the table..would that be cool? Or just a lot of woodwork that isnt neccesary..also im worried about strength of the wood after I cut three holes in it...What do u think?

Posted by j_spot on Jul-27-2001 23:43:

here is my drawing that took 2 minutes to make

not quite specific..but u get the general idea right?

Posted by patticus on Jul-31-2001 12:50:

yeah jspot its a good idea actually a vancouver store bassix has an exact set up like that, w/o the vinyl slots tho.

that's what the mixer is kinda built for, right? it looks a lot cooler for sure...

I think im even gonna make the whole for the vinyl oversized so I can just take the milk crate of mine and stick it right in there...should make life easy

Sounds sooooooo cool!!!!!!!!

Posted by j_spot on Aug-01-2001 00:41:

Id ship u one Alonzo..but instead ill just share all my measurements with u. 4 4X4 posts and a 3/4 inch of ply wood bolted together would weigh a bit..and shipping from canada to isreal would cost more than my decks!!

Posted by j_spot on Aug-01-2001 21:59:
