Bang on Joe! People love to make out they we're way cooler, earlier than they actually were. In 1990 I had tapes of songs I liked recorded off the radio and there was some De La Soul, the cheesy Double Trouble remix of I Know You Got Soul and Dub Be Good To Me on there... But the same year I danced to Vanilla Ice in a shellsuit at the school disco and loved every bloody minute of it

well...... if youre DIY inclined you could probably bring those faders back to life by taking them apart, cleaning them with alcohol form the chemist, and re-lubing them with Deoxit or something. if it's DVS youre after you can pick up a 2nd hand Rane SL3 box which will allow you to run Serato for about £250-£300. Or you could get Traktor for similar kinda money. Serato's still renowned for its stability i guess but Traktor does allow a lot of customization. Or you could just get 2 birds stoned at once and get a DVS mixer, but theyre generally quite expensive. but it does make life easy and you'll have access to all sorts of cool effects and some finger-drumming/mpc type vibes. or you could go oldschool and just buy a 2nd had vestax pmc 06 (before theyre all mutilated by the Midi-Note-Fader crew!) and some (cough cough) skip proof vinyl.

No, that's the actual belt dimensions. (I had entered the PT01 dimensions into the calculation tool, sent him a screnshot of that, he proposed two belts, I bought and tried both, and what You see above is the belt that worked better) r

I used to like some awful tripe but I also had the De La, Tribe and Jungle Brothers LPs. School discos though. Luckily for us we're from the era where everyone in the building wasn't armed with a pocket device, capable of filming high quality video that could be distributed worldwide at the touch of a button!

seriously i love this thread so much its fucking awesome what you guys are doing cant wait to show it to my younger brother who used to scratch himself and owns a 3d-printer he will love this thread even more

To prove I'm no pansy, I immediately copped Listen Without Prejudice - George Michael

I had a c90 with Eazy Duz It on one side and Geto Boyz on the other. I don't know why but I never even listened to the Geto Boyz side. I'd listen through Eazy Duz It, then flip the tape over, fast forward it & flip it back. Try to explain the concept of fast forwarding the opposite side in order to rewind the side you want to a kid who doesn't understand what a tape is... #DadLife

"Rubber band belt" or "flat belt". I still don't like the stock cartridge at all, but this idea had too much potential to remain unexplored (2.6 gramms on the needle, like stock) r Edit: I designed a little tonearm holder for the PT01.
