Started with a Bush portable CD player and a Discman plugged into an 8 channel studio mixer made by a friend of my parents who lived down the road, then 'upgraded' to a pair of JVC hi-fi turntables I bought from my design technology teacher at school...
First decks actually with pitch control were a pair of Kam DDX680s I bought a couple of years later, with a Gemini PS-646 mixer.
Ah, those were the days! |

| A pair of Technics, and a Tascam XS-8 mixer (rebadged Ecler HAK 320), sennheiser hd280s, and mismatched carts that came with the used turntables. Total cost was about $800-900. I still have everything except I replaced one of the turntables with a new one and the mixer now lives in the closet. |

1984 - my best friend and I made our first mixes using one turntable (a JVC model, if I'm not mistaken) and a cassette deck, splicing tracks using the pause button over and over again. Time consuming, but we were from a small town and didn't really know how d.j.s did what they did, just how it sounded on the radio. A year or so later, after our first Montreal road trip and a night at Metropolis, he added another deck and the infamous Realistic 2-channel, stereo mixer:
I eventually bought the same mixer, and by 1988 had purchased my very own pair of Technics SL-BD22 turntables - if I recall correctly, they were about $150 each, at the time.
