Same here, to be precise:
2x Soundlab belt driven crappy turntables (dunno what the model was, it was black though).
1x Kam (I think, the face was scratched to shit) mixer that just had, headphone volume with a selector to choose which channel to listen to, 2 faders and a crossfader, and 2 phono/line selectors, oh and it had some pretty lights for the volume.
2x crappy crappy carts with no names on them, the main feature with these carts is they can skip more than any other cart out there, they put Ortofon and Shure to shame.

the cross fader was broken on the mixer, and there was no eq. So I could only fade in and fade out.
plus they had the real old technics, but they were pretty solid.

one of the clubs i used to warm up in before i turned professional
two screwed 1210s- one randomly changed pitch all the time.
Mixer with noisy faders
denon 1800f that didnt like using cdrs or originals
No spilt cue on the ixer and no monitor
massive delay on the system
no real bass bins- meaning it was drum&treble
all part of the learning curve- and its made me a better dj having to play in such places

There was this other time I was djing on a really good set up (2 stanton st100 and a decent mixer) but the needles were so crappy that sound was only coming out of one speaker totally distorted.
Moral: Bring own needles!
the worst setup u ever used!
1 amplifier, 1 cd deck (kenwood)
