One was a Sony one that I found under the stairs of a student gaff my brother was living in. The pitch control was a knob at the front. The second was a JVC that I managed to barter down to £20 from a second hand shop. The pitch control on that was a dial on the top. The mixer I got was a £49 Realistic job from Tandy (who were really the only people selling mixers back then). The thing is they were absolutely fine for learning how to beat match, and that's the important thing. It's no use spending loads of money on top decks until you learn the basics.As a side note I nicked my first 1210's from my University student union. Which was no mean feat because the bastards weigh a ton and it was during the day an all. The 1210's I've got now I got off a mate who had a "break in" where he happened to have all my records in his house, which turned out to be his records if you follow me. He gave us the brand new 1210's he'd claimed for my trouble (and a Intimidation - Dom II mixer an all - whatever happened to Intimidation?). So all in I've only ever paid £20 for 3 sets of decks - not bad eh.</blockquote>
