Hey Monti,
Its realy nice to look after your equipment, cleaning it even cleaning it with your toothbrush if you wish (you could read so much into that statement) however like your records, its all there to be used. I realy look after my stuff too however it always lets you down in the end such as my old DJM500 which has now been replaced with my A&H S2 (take a serious look at this as it sounds amazing even for an A&H) due to dry solder joint problems etc. Technics also suffer from dry solder joints as im having to replace my audio out leads for the 2nd time (one of my sets of 1200's are now 22 years old!!)
Oh btw Shooms, always lids on even though it can be a pain in the arse when they are just flipped up and in the mix (something us mere mkII owners have to suffer as hinged)

wi9sh they did lids for mixers cause the deadly dust is a killa. not to fussed about lids on me 1210s.
Hardtofind sell moulded plastic covers for CDJs, they might do them for mixers too. Worth having a butchers
On all the time, Unless Im playing of course.
Just ordered some Ortofon Needles will be brill as all ive ever used are those Stanton 500 that are issued with Technics decks! Plus they are silver and will go with my 1200's

I always keep the lids on when not in use, but dust still manages to get in, sneaky stuff that dust! 
....as alex says, be good to have one for mixers too, i've started putting a throw over the whole lot now though. So do one dust!

I can't stand those lids being on, even if the deck hasn't been used in a month or two, they just look wrong and geeky as fuck - I always used to think that people who left the lids on weren't proper DJ's, just people who liked to play records.

Off with their lids!
I bet the next thread will be a poll;
"who keeps that thick rubber matt on under their thin ones"
Fuck me shooms, have you swallowed tilt of late?

As much as I hate to agree, I think you have a vaild point, My lids are always on and my collection is very small so I tend to just play records rather than Mix.
Im selling a bunch of tunes to be able to fund for Serato Then Ill be able to play what Ive got and the Tonnes of MP3 I have & Mix to my hearts content.
If I was planning on living in the UK for the rest of my life I would have about 5000+ records. As for the min I have about 200 although 80% are very rare limited pressings. I don't want to shy away from Vinyl not for one min, Im still buying quite a bit. But im planing on a massive move to New Zealand in the next couple of years and need to limit on what I can take over there!
So Scott Im a lids On kind of Guy! (only for a short period of time)
Oh on another note where is the Tilt-meister gone? We need more Polls!!!!
