New Mixer

[Dj_4-$hure]

^ Also a Vestax fan. I have a 002xlu black mixer with innofader pro, and Vestax TT's. Looking to upgrade to Vestax 05 pro 4 black.

Idea 2: I have a (painted) blue UK-made xone:62 that I'm willing to part with for about that price range. PM me if you're interested.

I'd love to see a pic of that. I won't be buying anything till after christmas or the new year but if you still have it and it looks good, I'll definitely pm you about it.

The funny thing is that when I bought the xone, I was actually shopping for a vestax and couldn't find one…I still haven't gotten a straight answer as to whether the 004 and 280 were actually discontinued or if the places I checked just didn't stock them because people don't upgrade Vestaxes as often as crappier mixers.

here in Switzerland both those mixers are available.
VMC 004 USB @ 725 CHF w/ EFX / 480 CHF w/o EFX
PMC 280 @ 699 CHF.

a new xone 42 is around 800 CHF here just to give you a reference.

I´m also in the market for a 3/4 channel mixer, still hoping to find a used xone 42

@Ashigari, those prices are high for what I'm used to. Like…really high. Here the 280 pro would sell for about 400CHF if it were a straight conversion.

@bobbylight,

The only downside is that the guy who owned it before me painted it, so there are no markings on any of the controls…it took about an hour of spinning with it to just know how everything works and stop thinking about it. And, it could use a good cleaning just because everything's analog, but I'd have that done before I sent it out anyway.
