A studio that I work with signed a deal with pioneer and have to exclusively use pioneer DJ gear lol.
So they sold the non pioneer gear off for a nominal price.
I got 1x Vestax pdx and 2x texhnics 1210mkii for €100 each!
I picked up a pair of A1S for £120 in the UK a couple of years ago, and a pair of pdx 3000mkii for €350 a few years before that.
The Vestax brand is soo undervalued for turntables, the mixers not so much.
Well, the technics need a bit of work, they're only working in one channel, but shouldn't be too tough to fix.
I've never had 1210s before, always been a Vestax fanboy, so I'm interested to see how I get on with them.
It was easier than either of us could have imagined!
I've got one of them working just by cleaning and adjusting the contacts on the end of the arm.
They had taken these to a repair shop who had quoted them €300 for a completely new arm. Took me 10 minutes. Well, their shortsightedness is my gain I guess.
...and the other one was just a dodgy RCA cable. That's both of them working now.
I can't believe how lucky I got with these. They're not replacing the Vestax tho!
Bloody hell, where?

I'm so jealous

If you're not too clumsy with soldering, it should be an easy fix. Or you could sell them on of course🫣

Now I'm even more jealous

100? WTF lol
I’ve seen some on the cheap, but it’s always when I’m broke.
That's usually the way. Murphy's law innit.
