What decks have you got ?

[Shooms]

Following on from the rumours about Technics pulling production of 1200 / 1210 I thought it'd be interested to see what we've got...

 

[Gav]

I've got 1210's with 1200 arms, due to fucking them up when I first got them and having them sent back for replacement arms. They used silver ones of the 1200.

So I like to think mine are slightly personalised.....

1 x 1210 mk5 with snapped arm
1 x 1200 mk2 with pitch f*cked when it goes beyond -2.5
1 x 1210 mk5 (perfect condition)
1 x 1200 mk2 with missing dat cable

so in effect i have 2 and a half working decks, but one of the working decks is missing a dat cable which is so poo when mixing vinyl . although fortunately traktor runs through digital, so thankfully when i'm playing new music it doesnt make a difference

Borrowing my mates Numark TT's..seem ok although the pitch takes a second too long to adjust.

2 x Stanton ST-150's.

I've had 2 different sets of 1210's in the past though.

The Stanton's are better decks to be honest. The only downside for me is that they don't have a separate earth cable (it's built in or something), and there is a slight "earth" buzz when you listen to the deck with no record at high volumes. Although you can actually wire in a separate earth I've just never got round to it, or finding our how for that matter. Apart from that they can go from +/- 10%, 25% and 50%, they have a reverse faeture, and if you set it to be a line out instead of phono you can then do a key lock where the pitch changes (or tempo, never remember which) but the key stays the same - all the way to +/- 50%, all in real time as you play vinyl. You can also set the stop and start to whatever you want - slow or quick - no idea why you would want a slow start mind (the start on max is actually quicker than the 1210 as it's got more torque).

I'd deffo get the straight arm version (the STRT-150 or something) next time though, for better groove hugging.

I don't hold with the opinion that you won't be able to play out because you won't be used to Technics either - IMO if you can beat match / scratch on 1210's then you can do the same on ST-150's, and vice versa.

I tell you what is really nice just from an aesthetic point of view is the glitter flecks embedded deep in the black sheen

The +/- 8/16 does give flexibility... however the +/- 16 means that any slight touch to the pitch makes a big difference... & it's harder to hold without drifting..

My 1210s are a little over twenty years old.

I can still remember how excited I was getting them all wired up for the first time.

Only recently had them refurbished.

 

[EZEE]

2,black 1210 mk2's which came out of the legendery Birmingham club Coast 2 Coast home of The Bass Place so just about any Dj worth his/her salt has had a spin on my decks

I had the str8-150's & loved em.
