I have been shopping.............
Have just flown home from the states with them in my hand luggage. All three managed to fit in the bags and in the overhead storage- and two very bored customs officers didnt give a second look. Security at JFK were a tiny bit concerned and did an explosives swab test (!) on all of them and all the bags before they let me through!
So I would like to thank:
UDG: not only do the trolley bags, sling bags and laptop courier bags all hold CDJ1000s easily (or two in the case of the trolley bag), they also definately do fit in the overhead lockers with no bother as per the advertising.
George Bush: for making the US/uk exchange rate so piss poor everything is cheap
British Airways: For giving three times as much carry on baggage allowance to passengers in Premium or business class (the only way to fly long haul).
A bit of hassle, but as the bird lives in NYC, and i was going anyway- and I could get them brand new for a fantastic price ;) then it would have been rude not to.
The boxes are at the birds in NY still and will arriving in the mail to me in a couple of weeks.
Anyone tempted to do the same- its a lot of hassle!
Off to barcelona tomorrow so not online for a bit- but back in a week. January is Dj holiday time!!
Happy (late) new year all you guys in the Dj booth :) |

How big are power converter adapters these days?
I'd be tempted to get a friend in the states to help me out by getting me some of these :)

Yep- 3 1200s already.
As for power transformers- not much bigger than a plug. Can pick them up for about £6 each if you shop around (maplins have some on sale for £4.99 each at the moment).
As for the price....well- when converted into £UK, I paid less than what a pair would cost me in the uk- and I got three for that much. not a bad saving methinks. Had to do some bartering and a bit of haggling to get a good price (for cash!) but its all good. |

WoW! i never knew they were that cheap?!
Is it just me, or have power converters come a long way in 10 years?
Friends of mine used to have to lug around this big 10kg block as they had consoles from Japan/USA.
