Finally got part of the setup Ive always wanted.
** UPDATED PICS **
After being bored with the way that digital DJing was going for me, I decided to sell my S4 and pocket the cash to throw down on some Technics.
Im extremely happy with my purchase, been wanting a pair since I started 10 years ago. Definitely gonna need some refurb and modifications but its a big step for me. 
Congrats 
It’s always an amazing feeling when you get gear you’ve wanted for a long time, and I’m sure you’re going to get great use out of them!
Cool, one day ill get a pair of 1200s or 10s, they still look and feel so cool
Don’t mod 'em! Just chuck £100 at the pair and have a full internal service.
1200’s are not to be modded - that’s what 1210’s are for! 
+1
(although i did upgrad my pop up lights to blue leds 
)
But now using all that time you had to put into a performance for your set, you get to spend it adjusting tempo, fixing drift, and making sure the songs beat matched for your standard A B Mixing 
How is that not MORE boring hehe
Grats on your decks, Ive got a pair of mk5g i havent used in 5 years 
Hmm, care to elaborate? My plan was to internally ground them, paint them black and upgrade the lighting to LEDs. After the proper research of course.
Not sure how much performance I was putting into an S4 to be honest. Im not a controllerist at all. I actually prefer more A-B mixing with some flair. My overall goal is to add a Rane 62 (switching to Serato) and upgrade my laptop.
The S4 was promoting bad habits i.e. bombarding every track with effects, an obligation to always have at least two tracks running and “proper” use of samples. As a DJ who plays D&B (who have reputations for being stubborn lol) I feel that a track should speak for itself and that returning to the basics of mixing shouldnt be overlooked.
As for the beat matching (drifting and cueing) and conventional mixing, I simply DGAF (with all due respect).
the only difference is the 10’s are black iirc?
so..i dont get it
Theres some truth to this. Some of the conversations here lack perspective because dj’ing style can and should be genre specific. Drum and bass is busy music. It’s not made for “routines.” It’s made to mix. Even when Craze was doing strictly drum and bass sets, the vast majority was A to B mixing with some scratching.
Update to this thread.
Finally finished the refurb on these. I’m extremely happy with how they turned out.
Phwoar
The only problem with TTs is that you gotta find room for a set of shelves, for the vinyl now too.
… and buy a mixer lol
Ive had shelves for vinyl for a while now. I already have a bit of a collection, however, im going DVS (Serato). Im thinking of either an Ecler Nuo 2.0, A&H Xone 22 or going straight for a Rane 61. Borrowing a friends DJM 700 for right now though.
Good on you for going this route.
The tables look great!
Looks nice and clean.
Have fun with the new toys!
the 10’s also have an dual voltage power supply.
Nice!
Good job!
Sexy tables! Would indeed defo prefer A > B on vinyl for DNB than overloads of FX & samples with a controller. Enjoying yours?
Its amazing. Feels great to be back on turntables again. The S4 created too many bad habits and I didnt have enough control. D&B is definitely not made for controller type equipment.
