Shit literally had 2 faders, 2 gains and a Xfader, That's it. Plugged in to a pioneer tape deck/ghetto blaster with some really shit headphones. Taught me to mix but fuck did those puppies drift. First technics was very early 1998 - Got SL1210 mk2's and Gemini 626 (shit quality but I loved the layout on that mixer, especially the little xfader for the headphone mix and the push button kill swtiches). We did sometimes use my mate's Intimidation Don II though which was a beast. Now? I have my dream setup: 2 x Tech 1210 Mk5G's, Vestax PMC 55 10 input mixer, 2 x CDJ 800's and Sony 7509HD phones. So much fucking fun to play on it.

Glad to see another 800 user. Kids and their newfangled controllers these days...

1998 - 2 x soundlab dlp1600 belt drive turntables and a soundlab dsm5 mixer. both the decks and mixer were awful. saved up and bought a set of 1210MK2s in early 2000(which I still have, along with a Pioneer DJM-T1)

Lol, at last someone that doesn't make me feel ancient. Those decks were only marginally better than my DLP-1. Was a lot of fun riding them to keep them in time

I think the DLP1 were actually better than the 1600 - the 1600 had the really crappy horizontal pitch slider

Fuck, you know I just realized I actually had the DLP1600's - My GF had the DLP-1's at her house, but what I had at home was the DLP 1600 - that fucking shitty little horizontal pitch fader jogged my memory lol!

Tbh, you could od a mix on them though. I'l always be fond of them as they taught me to mix and weirdly, when I bought my first set of techs, my very first mix was flawless. I remember thinking "so this is what it must be like to drive a porsche".
